Program: Eating Disorders hit Home
Physical
Tracy Bobertz
Description:
After realizing that our hall had several students with severe eating disorders we decided
that a program would be appropriate. Instead of doing a lecture style program or just
providing statistics, facts, and figures we contacted a local counseling service and asked
if they knew anyone that would be willing to come out and "tell their story"
about the disease.
A woman came and told her story to about 30 residents and allowed for questions afterward.
The event was quite emotional. This newer approach really worked with the students. We
tried to overcome the idea of "it won't happen to me"
