DukeHealth -- Center for Eating Disorders

Provider Type: Resource Center

Address: Duke University Campus

Specialties: The goal of this website is to offer information and tools to individuals who are affected by an eating disorder and to their families. Individuals and families who learn about the complexity of eating disorders—the strong and confusing emotions; rigid and unrelenting rules and expectations; the preoccupying awareness of the experience of the body—among many other challenging experiences—are better equipped to make continuing, tangible progress. Building knowledge and skills with the support of experts and peers can give families the resilience and long-term strategies they need to help their loved ones—and still take care of themselves in the process.

Approaches: The Duke Center for Eating Disorders has created this website to provide families with expertise, support and reassurance they can access from home. By going through this learning process and developing crucial communication and coping skills, your family can actually emerge stronger and closer than before.
