A12 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, September 30, 1998 Feds putting money into eating disorders A NEW FEDERALLY- financed program in north- em B,C, is aimed at pre- venting eating disorders among young people, espe- cially women. ; The Eating Disorders in Norther British Columbia Project is receiving $278,000 from the federal: povernment’s Health Transition Fund to help train community-based teams to detect the early signs of eating disorders so young people can be helped right away, The project is designed to build a number of teams {made up of public health nurses, peer counsellors, dietitians and family mem- bers) in various northern cities, including Terrace. The teams will leam how to detect eating disorders like anorexia nervosa ‘and bulimia by attending four workshops over two years. “T's a two-year training project,” said Dr. Loma Medd, a medical health of- ficer in Prince George who spearheaded the project. ‘After the workshops are. complete, the skills will be there and communities will be able to develop solutions to their specific needs.’” Medd said the workshops . will focus on developing skills to help diffuse what’s _ happening fo 8, 9 and 10-. year-old girls. She said it’s common for young girls to become obsessed and worry about their body image. In fact, more than 90 per cent of eating disorders, she said, occur among young adolescent girls. . “They think ‘I’m too ugly, too fat, tog stupid’,’’she said. amet take any negative message like teasing or bullying, and turn it against themselves.” In order to take control of: their lives, Medd _ said, young girls often start by controlling their weight. she said girls have to learn to talk about their -problems and to externalize their hurt feelings, not take them cut on themselves. Medd said Northemets with eating disorders have less access to services than those living in the South. ‘People here are strug- gling and feel they aren’t getling cnough support,” she said, “Most resources go to Vancouver.”’ The Eating Disorders in Northern British Columbia project will be based in Prince George, but Medd said there is a good pos- sibility training sessions could be held in Terrace as ry well. “Having meetings in Ter- race would save on travel time and costs for people in the northwest, but. details still necd to be worked out”? Currently, the Terrace Women’s Resource Centre has resources on eating dis- orders and has worked with mothers and daughters in the pas. » Heart expert gives advice Dr. Doris Kavanagh-Gray was in Terrace Sept. 26 to share her knowledge on women and heart disease at a symposium presented by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. and Yukon. Kavanagh-Gray, who is the founder and for- mer chief of the Department of Cardiology ut St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, said approximately 40,000 Canadian women die of heart disease every year, f ‘ ; ?
