Eating Disorder Resources

Everyone deserves support for their eating concerns. These resources can help you take the first step to getting the help you deserve.

Resources for WVU Students

Dietitian Services

WVU Dining Services' registered dietitian is here to help you achieve your nutritional and wellness goals and overcome dietary challenges. They offer intuitive eating counseling, body image counseling and more.

While the dietitian can recognize disordered eating and provide intuitive eating counseling, a referral to a specialized eating disorder therapist will be recommended to students who need this type of therapy.

The WVU Disordered Eating Center of Charleston (DECC)

This center is an interprofessional outpatient treatment program that provides services for youth and adults with disordered eating and clinical eating disorders. DECC does not provide any type of weight loss treatment, since this is misaligned with all evidence-based and best practice treatment approaches for people with eating disorders. After all, intentional restrictive dieting can cause or exacerbate disordered eating behavior.
