From the Program
Chair:
We are very excited about this NECHA’s 2014 Annual Meeting at the Wentworth by the Sea and invite you to join us! We have a beautiful, relaxing setting, and an excellent program in store for you. I want to thank the program planning committee for the great work they have done! The feedback from last year’s attendees indicated that they really valued sessions that provided usable skills and programs that could be incorporated on their home campuses. That has been a guiding principle in putting together this year’s program. As you review the program you will see that each track is filled with such sessions!
Our theme, Making Waves in College Health, seems appropriate as so much is happening on each of our campuses. Health care on college campuses is becoming more complicated as issues of community, inclusivity, and safety impact the health and success of our students. We are very pleased to have 4 featured presentations that will help us consider, prepare for, and address these complex issues.
1) Keith Maddox, PhD will be presenting our opening keynote address entitled: Discovering Bias: Challenges and Opportunities for Organizational Diversity. 2) The Office of Civil Rights will address Thursday’s general assembly on the topic Title IX and creating safe, inclusive environments for all students on campus with a special focus on women and sexual assault. 3) A featured session, Lock, Lights, Out of Sight: Security Planning for Health Services, will be presented on Thursday afternoon. The Tufts University panel will focus on how to prepare for a potential violent person on campus. 4) Dr. Jesine Xavier is back with another three hour (Friday morning) session on the topic of DBT.
We also received feedback that attendees really like the opportunity to informally meet, network, and share ideas/experiences with people in similar disciplines. At Thursdays’ lunch meeting we will organize tables by track (health promotion, nursing, clinical medicine, and mental health) so that colleagues can meet and catch up with each other. Stay tuned as further details unfold!
We hope you will join us for a few days with your College Health Colleagues this fall at the beautiful Wentworth by the Sea!

Pre-1: Beyond the Weight Police: Working Effectively with Eating Disordered Students in the Medical Setting
Working with students with eating disorders is challenging, both because of the medical risks of the illness and the un- usual dynamic of the visit. Unlike most students we see, ED students are at best ambivalent about getting better and often frankly resistant. This sets the stage for an antagonistic and judgmental dynamic between clinician and student. This workshop, led by a physician, a nutritionist and a therapist, will present key tasks in ED treatment and concrete guidance on developing a treatment plan. We will introduce motiva- tional interviewing techniques as a way to change the dy- namic between clinicians and students. There will be time to discuss current cases in small groups. We will not be discuss- ing involuntary leaves.

Come to share your ideas and approaches with your peers. All are welcome.

Pre-3: Hot Legal Disability Topics
Not long ago, campuses often addressed health issues without regard to disability status. But following amendments to the Americans with Disabilities Act, institutions find themselves untangling the legal thicket posited by hidden health and mental health conditions interplaying throughout campus life. This session targets three top- ics: mental health and the confusion surrounding therapy animals; food allergies and meal planning; and concussive injuries – what legalobligationsapply?Wewillanalyzethelegalbackdropandthen share information from a campus on how they are addressing each issue.
