CollegeResponse would like to invite you to a free webinar focusing on two of the most serious health issues on college campuses: binge drinking and disordered eating. These two prevalent issues have garnered the attention of university administrators, researchers and clinicians. The webinar seeks to explore the disorders and offer practical prevention programming and awareness campaigns for students.

Dr. Susan Kelly-Weeder of Boston College investigated the co-occurrence of disordered eating and binge drinking in samples of college men and women. The purpose of her studies is to explore the variety of disordered eating practices that often go hand in hand with binge drinking behaviors.

Key Elements of the Webinar will Include:
1. Presentation of Dr. Kelly-Weeder’s research, including a description of disordered eating behaviors, the connection with binge drinking practices and the subsequent consequences/harm to those students displaying both behaviors.
2. Clinical implications for counselors, nurse practitioners and doctors working with college students.
3. Practical implications from CollegeResponse program manager and former coordinator of wellness education at Emerson College, Deborah Engler, for prevention programming and education campaigns.
