MISSION - WHAT WE DO

The Renfrew Center Foundation, founded in 1990, is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to advancing the education, prevention, research and treatment of eating disorders. Through its programs, the Foundation aims to increase awareness of eating disorders as a public health issue and research the pathology and recovery patterns of people with eating disorders. The Foundation also seeks to educate professionals in the assessment, treatment and prevention of behavioral and emotional disorders by sponsoring an Annual Conference as well as numerous seminars throughout the country. The Renfrew Center Foundation is committed to help women and girls on the road to recovery by providing financial assistance to those who might otherwise not be able to afford treatment. The Foundation is supported financially by private donations as well by funding from The Renfrew Center. The Renfrew Center was established in 1985 in Philadelphia, as the first free-standing, residential treatment facility in the United States exclusively dedicated to the treatment of women with eating disorders. In 1990, The Renfrew Center established a second residential treatment facility in Coconut Creek, Florida. Today, The Renfrew Center provides residential and outpatient services in Philadelphia and Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania; Allendale, New Jersey; New York City, New York; Wilton, Connecticut; and Coconut Creek and Miami, Florida. The Renfrew Center has helped more than 30,000 women with eating disorders and other psychiatric conditions. The treatment philosophy emphasizes a respect for the unique psychology of women, the importance of a collaborative therapeutic relationship, and the belief that every woman needs to actively participate in her own recovery. Professionals, alumni, families and friends can become more involved with The Foundation?s efforts through volunteering, individual donations and planned giving opportunities. With your help, together we can build a future where women, girls, and their families have the hope for a healthy life free from eating disorders and body image issues.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Your donation will provide Hope, Help & Healing through our programs: Education: We train professionals to better treat eating disorders through our Annual Conference and various seminars. Additionally, we educate policy makers through our network of professionals, families, friends and Renfrew Alumni to remove barriers to treatment and to increase the federal and state resources for education, prevention and research. Prevention: We provide seminars and speaking engagements for the general public to change public thinking about healthy eating and body size and to raise awareness about eating disorders so that they can be better understood, prevented, detected and treated. Research: We conduct studies that examine the short and long-term effects of treatment, the causes of eating disorders and the benefits of new treatment methods. We also publish The Renfrew Perspective, a scholarly journal that highlights research and current topics. Scholarships for Treatment: We raise money for scholarships to help girls and women who are uninsured or underinsured get the treatment they need.
