Eating disorders can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, body size, or background. Early identification can make a significant difference in recovery and overall well-being.

You can have a confidential screening on Campus at the Counseling Center on Oct 27th between 11:00-1:00 pm

Consider a screening if you notice:
• Preoccupation with food, weight, or body image
• Skipping meals or restrictive eating patterns
• Binge eating episodes
• Excessive exercise to "earn" or compensate for food
• Anxiety, guilt, or shame around eating

A screening is not a diagnosis, but it can help determine whether additional support may be beneficial.

Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Decide today you will care for your health. by @batten.cares

Mental health is just as important as physical health. Mental illness can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or circumstance. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

If you or someone you know is struggling, remember that support is available and recovery is possible.

Together, we can reduce stigma, encourage understanding, and create a community where everyone feels safe asking for help.

Come out and join us to learn more and create your anxiety resistant kit.
