Join Us for #SaludTues 12/02/14: How do Eating Disorders affect Latinos?

Share On Social!

Each culture brings a unique constellation of family dynamics that contribute to an individual’s mental health.

In the Latino community, family impact on mental health, specifically eating disorders, can contribute to whether or not an individual seeks help. Unfamiliarity with eating disorders and difficulty connecting with the struggles of a family member may result in a decreased likelihood of seeking treatment.

Let’s tweet about the impact, treatment, and stigmas of eating disorders among Latinos:
