Support for disordered eating concerns
Our “Collaborative Health and Eating Program” (CHEP) (formerly called "Cornell Healthy Eating Program) is a coordinated, multidisciplinary team of Cornell Health providers made up of nutrition, medical, nursing, psychiatry, and counseling providers who work together to support students struggling with disordered eating and related concerns.
If you're struggling with disordered eating or an eating disorder – or if your feelings and behaviors related to body image and eating begin to impede your ability to participate in and enjoy life – it’s important to seek help.
Learn more on our CHEP webpage.
