time to get addressed about this and even other mental behavioral issues.? benefits of
screenings
screenings
in
school
s offer earlier detec- tion, according to both women. however, when it comes to when
school
s should begin
screenings
, dr. stokes sees that middle
school
and high
school
screenings
as having the most impact. ?while indi- viduals do begin struggling with
eating
and body image concerns in elementary
school
, the majority of individuals who struggle, and are later diagnosed, describe early symptoms and signs that began in late middle and early high
school
. screen- ing in both is valuable in providing access to more immediate intervention for those who need treatment services.? navigating the obstacles while there are benefits, there are also questions of how to begin having screen- ings and what may come of them other than early intervention. if a
school
were to begin
screenings
, they may face obstacles. ?if a
school
doesn?t have the proper training, children can feel stigmatized by what has happened. costs can be a chal- lenge to add or implement, resources may not always be available, and some fami- lies may see an
eating
disorder as more of a family issue rather than a
school
issue,? says richard. if parents have questions, knowledge is key. ?if concerns are raised by student
screenings
, the
school
should have a plan for someone who can speak with the stu- dent and the parents,? says dr. stokes. understanding the
screenings
before a
school
begins
screenings
, they need to have a course of action. ?i recom- mend that
school
s learn more about
eating
disorders to better understand what they are and connect with community resourc- es to offer families help,? says richard. ?obtain grants, raise funds, or find tools to secure funding and bring in someone to do a screening.? if
school
s do not wish to have the
screenings
, there are other ways to screen students. ?there are free screening ques- tionnaires available and screening instru- ments that can be purchased,? says dr. stokes. ?typically, screening is just a few questions that can be done by any person who has a relationship with the child. many screening measures are now done through apps and computer programs.? if the parent finds out that his or her child has an
eating
disorder, there are programs in our community and websites that can help. ?parents can reach out to the loui- siana center for disordered
eating
, treatment programs at the
eating
disorder center, our lady of the lake?s pediatric dietitians, and baton rouge christian center, who has a therapist who deals with
eating
disorders,? says richard. and according to dr. stokes, treatment in- volves medical care, nutritional counsel- ling, and psychotherapy. with the proper education,
screenings
in
school
s could be beneficial for louisi - ana students. however, there are obstacles that need to be overcome. ? 4 6 b r p a r e n t s . c o m | m a y 2 0 1 9
