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.
