Eating Disorders PSA Project

Hello, All:

We will be working in groups, to create a PSA (public service announcement) regarding Eating Disorders. 

You will create a short video presentation, discussing one of the four eating disorders.  To review, the four eating disorders are...

  • Anorexia Nervosa
  • Bullimia Nervosa 
  • Binge Eating Disorder

Your presentation must include: 

  • Accurate information about the eating disorder you/your group chose, including but not limited to: 
    • Signs that someone is developing an eating disorder
    • Short term health consequences
    • long term health consequences
    • Treatments
    • Advice about how you can help someone who you think is developing a disorder
    • Advice about healthy eating habits
    • Advice about how to control a healthy body weight
Your presentation must:
  • Be AT LEAST 3 minutes long, but NO LONGER than 5 minutes
