The purpose of this toolkit is to increase staff and faculty’s awareness, knowledge, and confidence in supporting students with concerns around eating disorders. This toolkit does not hope to create experts in this complex set of disorders and challenges but instead offers a starting point for readers to begin familiarizing themselves with and reflecting upon eating disorders, disordered eating, and the unique risk factors students face in post-secondary environments.
