Education
Resources for the Community
We know firsthand the personal and family devastation that can
be caused by anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. That's
why The Renfrew Center Foundation is committed to raising
awareness about eating disorders and educating individuals who are
suffering, as well as their friends and family members. We believe
that knowledge is power and we know that recovery is possible—we
see it every day!
Please review the events, services, and publications we provide
for the community:
- View and download printable educational
materials created by The Renfrew Center Foundation. This includes our recommended list of books and resources on eating disorders and support for individuals, families, and friends. For other
literature, please call 1-800-RENFREW.
- The Renfrew Center Foundation Speaker's Bureau: As part
of our educational and prevention efforts, The Renfrew Center
Foundation has developed a Speaker's Bureau comprised of Renfrew
professionals, Renfrew alumni, and friends and family members
who wish to share their experiences of recovery. Involvement in
the Speaker's Bureau can be an important stepping stone in the
process of finding one's voice and reclaiming one's life from
the destructive elements of an eating disorder. Schools, colleges,
corporations, houses of worship, and other groups interested in
scheduling a speaker may contact us for more information. To find
out more about the Speaker's Bureau click

Respect My Body?" to assess your perception of your
body.
