About ECM
Eating Concerns Mentors (ECM’s) are trained mentors who are interested in supporting students struggling with eating concern and body image issues. In addition to providing support, they can provide resources and referrals to students, if necessary.
Students educating and supporting other students is based on the belief that students are more receptive and learn better from informed and educated peers. Acquiring knowledge, skills and confidence helps ECM’s enhance their own knowledge, attitudes and understanding related to disordered eating and body image concerns.
New ECMs will complete extensive training during the fall semester. Once trained, students will be available to provide support, as needed and also be involved in campus-wide events designed to promote positive body image.
Application and Interview Process
Due to an amazing response of students interested in ECM, we have closed the application process. We will be looking for mentors again in Fall 2010.
If you have any questions, please contact Suzanne Sonneborn at the Office of Health Education & Promotion, Health Services.
