A Presentation at JCCC about Eating Disorders

Next week, JCCC has a presentation about eating disorders:

“Is It ‘Healthy’ or Is It an Eating Disorder?
11 a.m.-noon, March 30, 2011, 211 Carlsen Center

Eating disorders are an enigma. To an outsider looking in, it appears that a person could control what she eats and how much she exercises and specifically create the body society idealizes. This is a myth that our culture perpetuates. The lecture examines how to identify those struggling with an eating disorder by looking at the pulse of their inner world and provides an overview of those at risk, the recovery path and prevention strategies.

Presenters Michelle Micsko, clinical psychologist, and Kathi Bjerg, dietician, from Insight Counseling, will look at the continuum of normal to abnormal eating during a one-hour presentation for students that’s also open to the community.”
