NIS Online Educational Program
Beginning in early fall, 2010, NORMAL IN SCHOOLS will begin production of its Online Educational / DVD program. The series will be comprised of at least three 40-minute segments compiled into an online portal so individuals, schools and treatment hospitals can log in and experience the award-winning program instantly. Through our online program, NIS will make significant progress in spreading its crucial curriculum – and through that curriculum, hope and healing – to people across the nation and, eventually, around the world.
The first two segments of the NIS Online Program / DVD will be of the award-winning 75-minute rock musical NOR•MAL followed by a talk-back with expert clinicians and patients in recovery for eating disorders. This is the heart of the NIS program which has gotten families into treatment. The primary purpose of this segment is to educate audiences about eating disorders, to reduce the shame surrounding mental health illnesses and to inspire treatment so healing can begin.
The third 40-minute segment will be comprised of interview footage with expert clinicians and researchers who reveal the latest research about eating disorders, including binge eating disorder. The primary purpose of this segment is to emphasize how full recovery IS possible, to educate about the genetic factors involved in the condition, the need for appropriate care and for insurance to provide ample coverage.
Sponsorship opportunities are still available. Please contact Robyn Hussa for more information.
