SPECIAL PROGRAM DURING EATING DISORDERS AWARENESS
WEEK 2009
February 23 - 27
Poweshiek County Mental Health Center is hosting the National Eating
Disorders Screening Program on campus this week. Students can do an
online screening and/or in-person screening at the Walk-In Counseling
(Health Center) throughout the week - students can complete a screening
test, receive educational materials, and consult with a health professional.
Go to this
free online screening.
Your mental health can impact your academic work and your overall
satisfaction with college life. According to a University of Michigan study,
as many as 15 percent of college students suffer from depression
(University of Michigan Study).
It is also estimated that one in four adults over the age of 18 suffer from
from a diagnosable mental disorder (National Institute of Mental Health).
The counselors at the
Campus Walk-In Center and at the Poweshiek
County Mental Health Center can perform confidential screenings and
make referrals and suggestions for further counseling or treatment.
These sites are intended to be resources, not definitive diagnostic tools.
We suggest that you administer a test on-line, print out the results, and
bring the print-out to consult with a counselor at the Campus Walk-In
Center or the Poweshiek County Mental Health Center. The
therapist can help you determine the best treatment for your specific
condition and concerns.
