EDRC hosts an annual multimedia contest highlighting the writing and art of grade 6 through 12 students in Santa Clara County. EDRC’s ultimate goal in hosting the contest is to provide students the opportunity to share their experiences with mental health and body image, encouraging them to dispel misconceptions and speak up towards a solution.
As many as 30% of girls and 16% of boys in American high schools suffer from disordered eating including binging, vomiting, fasting, laxatives, diet pill use, and compulsive exercise. EDRC’s goal, as a part of eating disorders prevention, is to increase “media intelligence” among youth and to encourage body and self-acceptance.
