Testimonials

"We did the screenings as a part of our Alcohol Awareness Day. Our event was huge! The largest we've ever had. We held it outside, had counselors on hand for the screenings and a confidential room if we needed it for referrals. We partnered with the state police, local police and fire department as well as university police to hold demonstrations and be visible." Meagan Wentz

Central Connecticut State University.

"This was our fourth year conducting NASD at Harvard. We typically screen between 500 and 750 students and we are thrilled to have broken our own record this year, topping out at nearly 1000 students!" Ryan Travia
Office of Alcohol & Other Drug Services
Harvard University.

"We had over 50% increased participation [in National Eating Disorders Screening Program] than in years past. Materials, video, and screenings were well-presented and clearly understood. We appreciate the inclusion of a male football player in the poster, and that the image was not a stereotype. This was also a great way for our counseling center to increase its presence on campus and to normalize mental health seeking and maintenance. We were able to engage with the students beyond administering screenings." Melanie Johnson
New England College.

"A woman in recovery from an eating disorder gave a testimony of her treatment and encouraged her peers to seek treatment. It was very brave of her to get up on stage, tell her story and show pictures of the lowest point of her condition." Dr. Charlotte Amenkhienan
Cook Counseling Center
Virginia Tech University

"One student kept circling the table then she eventually came over (she waited until her friend left to go to class). She was amazed that we had a private room set up for her to talk to a counselor about her eating disorder. She thanked me over and over again for securing her confidentiality. She is now a client of ours and doing quite well." Amy Dendy Christian
