Hi All,This week, Delta Phi Epsilon and Beta Theta Pi, a sorority and a fraternity at FIU's University Park Campus in Miami are hosting an eating disorder awareness week (ANAD Week 2007).
Monday was the kick off event. Nikki Kramer, MSW from Renfrew and Broward ANAD, and Heather Maio, Psy.D from the Renfrew Center gave a very informative presentation and question and answer session on Eating Disorders to the members and pledges of DPE and BTP. I didn't have a camera with me on monday, but there was a student reporter from the FIU University paper. If I can get pictures from him I will post them here (check back soon).
Tuesday was movie night. We saw: Dying to Be Thin - The Disturbing Truth behind Anorexia, Bulimia and America's Body Obsession (60 min). After the movie, we had a question and answer session and students asked me questions that I answered from the point of view of someone in recovery from an eating disorder.Wednesday they will be hosting a yoga and nutrition event for FIU students and Thursday they will close the week with a candlelight vigil. I will post some pics of the candlelight vigil after thursday.
The girls and guys of Delta Phi Epsilon and Beta Theta Pi at FIU have put so much effort into this week. A big thanks to them for sharing ANAD's message: Accept Yourself...Accept Others.
peace, hope and love,
Lily
