Learn about an approach that empowers students to win at social media and do so with a positive approach.

Early detection and treatment for eating disorders can have a significant impact on prognosis and recovery. School personnel are a valuable resource for individuals struggling with eating and body image issues, and often are a first point of contact for students seeking help with these disorders.  This presentation aims to 1) increase awareness of the signs and symptoms of eating disorders in student populations and 2) inform attendees how to identify and navigate the physical, emotional, and academic challenges faced by students struggling with eating disorders.
