A Resource for Health Care Professionals Working with People with Eating Disorders

This team has been working together for over 13 years to address the many issues surrounding services for persons suffering from eating disorders including prevention, treatment and support.

Some of the team’s accomplishments include development of the Renata Elizabeth Withers Centre for Hope, the Community Capacity Building Project and a resource library for health care professionals.

The Eating Disorder Interprofessional Community Capacity Building (EDICCB) Team has developed this website as part of a comprehensive toolkit to serve as resources for health care professionals throughout Newfoundland and Labrador. These resources will assist professionals providing treatment for persons suffering with eating disorders in their own communities by providing access to a range of resources and creative approaches.

The EDICCB Team will be providing education sessions to health care professionals across the province in 2010.
