Important Pre Camp Training
Eating disorders are competitive, contagious, destructive, and dangerous. Sadly, many cases go undiagnosed until significant medical intervention is needed.
As caretakers and mentors, it's essential that we equip ourselves with the knowledge and tools to support our campers in fostering healthy relationships with food and their self-image. And this includes Summer Camp administration, staff, and counsellors.
This workshop, specifically designed for Camp staff, will be led by Dr. Marcy Forta, the founder and directory of Atzmi and will cover:
Understanding the warning signs and risk factors associated with eating disorders.
What to do if you suspect an issue with a camper
Strategies for promoting body positivity and self-esteem among campers.
Practical approaches for creating a supportive environment around food and nutrition.
The training fee is per camp, unlimited staff may join the session for the same fee.
