This page will be updated regularly and my goal is to have a variety of resources for young people, parents and teachers that I have found useful in the ongoing discussion about body image concerns and eating disorders.
The NEDIC site, already referenced in LINKS offers a wealth of pre-screened resources http://www.nedic.ca/giveandgethelp/additionalresources.shtml
The NEDA site, also referenced in LINKS, offers many resources, http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/information-resources/resources-and-links.php
ANEB – ANEB Québec a pour mission de venir en aide tous ceux touchés par un trouble alimentaire. Afin d’accomplir ce mandat, nous offrons une panoplie de services bilingues. http://www.anebquebec.com/html/fr/aneb/historique.html
SHEENA’S PLACE is a center that was created after the tragic death of 22 year old Sheena Carpenter from an eating disorder in 1993. Friends and colleagues of her mother, Lynn, wanted to create a place that would bring hope and help to people like Sheena. The center now offers a wide range of services for people with eating disorders and their families. The site provides a number of excellent resources, including a listing of books, which is nice to see on a website. http://www.sheenasplace.org/index.php?page=suggested_reading
The Education and Outreach link is particularly useful, with a section specifically targeted to students. http://www.sheenasplace.org/index.php?page=for_students
This site also tells the heartbreaking story of Lynn and her daughter in a way that brings the stark realities of eating disorders into focus. http://www.sheenasplace.org/uploads/press/aboutsheena.pdf
Mirror-Mirror
This is another site with lots of clear and direct information on ED. It also provides some direct links to other sites that help with a variety of issues facing young people
