Awareness & prevention programs will help raise awareness.
“One of our biggest challenges is that eating disorders often go unnoticed or unaddressed in schools.  My bill will give schools the tools to develop their own eating disorder awareness and prevention programs so that teachers are prepared to recognize the warning signs and offer students somewhere safe to turn for help.” -Congress woman Judy Biggert

Biggert’s bill expands the allowable uses of the Innovative Education Strategic Block Grant program to include programs aimed at awareness and prevention of eating disorders, including role modeling, teacher training, and mentoring.  The bill also calls for a study by the National Center for Education Statistics and the National Center for Health Statistics on the prevalence and impact of eating disorders on American students.
