growing societal <strong>pro</strong>blem that constitutes eating disorders and<br />

what <strong>can</strong> be done to identify and assist those who suffer from<br />

them. Admittedly, as participants in health-related fields we have<br />

become a part of the <strong>pro</strong>blem by <strong>pro</strong>motion, however well<br />

intended, of unrealistic goals of body shape and performance. It<br />

is time to take a step back and examine the issues and look at<br />

solutions. We <strong>can</strong> seize the opportunity at hand to be positive<br />

agents of change through preventative education, by example as<br />

role models and through the formulation and <strong>pro</strong>motion of<br />

healthier body images, body ideals and healthier lifestyles. Selfesteem,<br />

body image and cultural issues will be examined and the<br />

development of new personal coping skills. You will learn how to<br />

take a practical, positive and caring ap<strong>pro</strong>ach to a very disturbing<br />

practice. FIS, PTS, NWS<br />
