Abstract: This study investigates the effectiveness of an integrated school-based programme aimed at improving the psycho-physical well-being of secondary school students with eating disorders (ED). Using a qualitative-quantitative approach, standardised data collection instruments were used, such as the KIDMED test to assess adherence to the Mediterranean diet, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale to measure self-esteem, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) to monitor emotional well-being. The six-month project combined nutritional education, physical activity and psycho-educational support to promote healthy eating habits, self-esteem and balanced growth. The results show significant improvements in the parameters of psycho-pedagogical well-being, adherence to a balanced diet and participation in motor activities.
