Well-being for Life and Learning: Food, Mood, and Body: College Students and Eating Concerns Workshop

About

College is a time of transition – for many students, it’s the first time they’re living on their own and taking care of themselves while being exposed to multiple stressors- this is a particularly vulnerable time for students to develop eating disorders. According to the National Eating Disorders Association, 32% of female-identifying college students and 25% of male-identifying college students suffer from an eating disorder. According to The Trevor Project, 54% of transgender youth are diagnosed with an eating disorder. This introductory 1 hour workshop will highlight some of the particular challenges impacting college students with eating disorders, highlight some misconceptions about eating disorders, and share practical strategies to support students.
