Eating Disorder Awareness and Support
Eating Disorder Awareness & Support
College can be a time of transition, new independence, and increased responsibility
— all of which can add to stress. During this stage of life, eating disorders can develop, reappear, or worsen.
The Healthy Minds Study (Spring 2025) found that 31% of Hancock students were at risk of developing an eating disorder.
You are not alone. Support and treatment are available, whether you are concerned about yourself or a friend.
