Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2005 will run from 6th to 12th February in the UK. This year's theme will be 'Getting Better?'. The UK Eating Disorders Association has lots of further information. To coincide with Eating Disorders Awareness Week, the Eating Disorders Association will be publishing a report on their survey into how treatment services live up to the NICE guidelines.
The USA National Eating Disorders Association also has info on events for Eating Disorders Awareness Week, which, oddly, runs from 27th Feb to 5th March in the US.

If you're looking for a support group to get help with an eating disorder, Joanna Poppink's excellent site has a very useful listing of groups across the USA and internationally.

I've just come across some useful resources for schema therapy. The main site is at http://www.schematherapy.com/ and contains lots of information on training, books and other publications, cassettes and conferences.

Reinventing Your Life is a slide show developed to explain basic schema therapy principles to the general public and it's a great place to start if you're interested in the approach.

Sing Lee has let me know that the Hong Kong Eating Disorders Centre, based at the Chinese University of Hong Kong now has a website.

Provided they have a Chinese version of Windows, Chinese people anywhere in the world can access lots of eating disorder related information from the site. You can also make use of a Chinese version of the EAT-26, a commonly used screening tool for eating problems. As far as I know, this is the first Chinese website on eating disorder.

I've also added the site to the page on National and International Eating Disorders Organisations
