I noticed this announcement on my Appalnet account and I thought it was absolutely relevant to the things we’ve been discussing in class. This would be an interesting story to hear for anyone who has experienced an eating disorder, had a friend to struggle with an eating disorder, or simply wants to learn more about it. This could also provide inspiration and useful advice for those currently dealing with such issues. The link below shows you the time, date, location, etc.

Maggie thank you for posting this! I never really thoroughly check my appalnet account, so I may have missed seeing it. I agree with you, this is absolutely relevant to everything we discussed in class. I would love to go and listen to this woman speak. As someone who has never suffered from an eating disorder I would like to have the opportunity to listen to someone who has firsthand so that I may have the chance to understand what people with the disorder go through better. That with if I deal with it in my classroom with any of my students (which is highly likely, considering I will be teaching high school) then I will be prepared and more able to do what I can to help them get through it. Thanks again!
