Thank you to the 2012 Nursing Charity Ball for your support!
"Let's Talk Eating Disorders...Provincial Education Program" has been developed and designed to meet the increased demand for information on eating disorders from school administrators, teachers, counsellors and coaches across the province. The Foundation has designed a 40-60 minute presentation that will give school professionals and educators across the province a chance to better understand the seriousness of eating disorders and provide current information on what provincial treatment facilities are available. EDFNL has targeted Junior and High Schools across the province by giving schools the option to have the Foundation present to the staff during a professional development day, staff meeting or lunch session. To date, we are delighted at the success of this program and see its’ great benefit in helping staff work with students with an eating disorder. This type of program is helping us to not only educate staff but also to be proactive in getting help to students in need and therefore helping to facilitate their chance of a good recovery from their eating disorder. The information conveyed to schools gives them a better understanding of how to be preventive in the future by working with their students on issues like self-esteem and the healthy vitality message.It is the Foundation's hope that from this program we will raise the level of awareness and early detection within the school setting. Once completed we can look to developing future workshops and seminars based on feedback we recieve. If you are a school professional and are interested in having the Foundation present to your staff, we will be happy to do so. You can contact the foundation at info@edfnl.ca or call 709-722-0500.
