Schools & Colleges Awaiting Release of Someday Melissa

Yesterday I received an email from a therapist at a midwestern college counseling center asking when the film will be completed. She wrote:

"I work with many of the college women on our campus with eating disorders, and I found your website while doing my several-times-a-week check for updated information on eating disorder treatment. ....Best of luck to you in your endeavors to reach the countless and often silent victims of these deadly diseases. I pray many people find hope and freedom from Melissa's story."

I receive a steady stream of inquiries from college and university counseling centers around the country as well as from guidance counselors at middle schools and high schools. There's a sense of urgency in the emails. Everyone is trying to find ways to reach kids in a way that will make them pay attention to what eating disorders really mean. I know "Someday Melissa" will do that.

I'll continue to post updates on the film's progress to this blog as well as the Someday Melissa Facebook page. However, if you are an educational or treatment professional and would like to be notified directly when the film is available please send me your contact information.

I can be reached through the Contact Page at www.somedaymelissa.com or directly at judy.somedaymelissa@gmail.com

Remember there IS HOPE and help is always available through the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA): www.nationaleatingdisorders.org

Thank you, Judy
