Medical Provider Resource – Disordered Eating and Eating Disorders
Carolina Resource Center for Eating Disorders
Excellent Resource for Medical Providers in the Treatment of Disordered Eating and Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are complex illnesses with biological, genetic, psychological, social, and developmental roots. They come in all shapes and
sizes and they do not discriminate between age, gender, race, class, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, or ethnicity. It is
impossible to know whether a person suffers from an eating disorder, or its severity, solely on the basis of appearance.
The Eating Disorder Trap Podcast

We discuss topics including:
As we age eating disorders and body changes are different in younger years as opposed to older years
As an adult we have established a formed identity vs. when a child develops an eating disorder they have formed other areas in their life
It is never too late to get support with an eating disorder
The denial of getting help
The lack of treatment for older folx
The importance of sharing your story as an older client
Our Mission
COPE's Vision Statement: To eliminate eating disorders, promote widespread positive body image, and raise public awareness of how to influence both.
Our focus is to provide up-to-date learning resources via outreach, media attention, and community events; we strive to educate our local community in order to facilitate greater understanding and more effective approaches to treating eating disorders and improving body image.
