Eating Disorders Panel Presentation

Monday, August 27 from 7:00-8:30 p.m.

Eating disorders affect many men, women, boys, and girls in our community but, being a personal and sensitive topic, it is often not talked about openly. Join us on Monday, August 27 from 7:00-8:30 p.m. for a unique opportunity to join experts in the field to talk about eating disorders. You will learn signs and symptoms, what to do if you think a friend has an eating disorder, what to do if you suspect you might have one, and how to talk with someone who has been through treatment. Panelists will stay after the forum to talk privately with those wishing to. The panelists include:

• Dr. Julie N. Morison, a clinical psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry at Albany Medical Center
• Joan Ostrow, Project Director for the Northeast Comprehensive Care Center for Eating Disorders at Albany Medical College
• Kelly Van Allen-Braswell, a registered dietician specializing in pediatric eating disorders
• A student currently in recovery from an eating disorder
