Eating Disorder Awareness & Prevention

Hey Ladies! Almost all girls who come to college here experience themselves, or have a close roommate who struggles with an eating disorder.  Eating disorders do not only affect the person struggling with it, but anyone who lives with them, or is close to them.

These workshops will provide information about:

- resources you have to help cope with them

- resources you have to help those around you

- the spiritual effects of eating disorders

- much, much more!

***I normally don't like to use bribery for educational experiences, I think the experience is rewarding in and of itself. However, if your WHOLE APARTMENT attends at least one of the classes below (together is preferred, but you can go to different classes if you'd like) then you won't have to do your clean check for November 5th. After all girls in your apartment have attended, please have one person email me your apartment number and the class(es) you all attended. If, however, Friday November 7th comes around and you haven't emailed me, or even one person in your apartment didn't attend a class, you'll all have to have your apartment checked on Friday the 7th from 2-4:30 PM. EMail me if you have questions.
