Eating Issues Group
MHC’s Counseling Services will be offering a group for women
who are interested in changing negative eating patterns, decreasing
food and weight concerns, and enhancing self-acceptance. Participants
will learn about underlying dynamics that fuel eating issues,
challenge unrealistic ideals, and develop alternative coping strategies.
The group, facilitated by Devon Kelting, psychologist, and Laura
Stegenga, graduate social work intern, will meet on Fridays throughout
spring semester, beginning February 15 at the Pattie J. Groves
Health Center. The meeting time will be determined by the group
members. Prescreening is required; call x2037.
