In our society today eating disorders are increasingly common. Women and men of all ages are more and more vulnerable to having disturbed body images and unhealthy eating habits.
Since the inception of the Eating Disorder Centre in 1994, we have worked in the area of eating disorder prevention, identification, support, referrals, and education for professionals, families and loved ones. Our goal is to concentrate on prevention of eating disorders through healthy eating, exercising, healthy body image, and self-esteem.

Michael P. Levine Ph.D.
Dr. Levine Ph.D. is a professor at Kenyon College in Ohio and has distinguished himself in the area of the prevention of eating disorders. He has been particularly interested in the ways in which body image and disordered eating are influenced by sociocultural factors such as mass media. His presentation will focus on the factors that play a part in the onset of eating disorders and address the important but difficult issue of how to prevent the pathological cycle of behaviors that give rise to anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
