Join retired Navy Senior Chief Leah Stiles for an insightful presentation on the often-overlooked issue of eating disorders in the military. With a wealth of experience and a passion for mental health advocacy, Leah explores the unique challenges of military culture, from the pressures of fitness standards to the stigma surrounding seeking help. This talk is designed to empower attendees with actionable insights and strategies to foster a culture of support and understanding for those affected by eating disorders.
Leah will also introduce the inspiring concept behind SEA WAVES’ Lighthouse Project: Need a Light; Be a Light. This message underscores the importance of offering guidance, hope, and compassion to those in need while also prioritizing self-care to remain a light for others. Whether you’re connected to the military or simply want to be part of a solution that fosters resilience and well-being, this session will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to make a difference.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to create positive change and be a guiding light for those navigating difficult challenges.
When: Thursday, February 20th
Time: 5:00-6:00 PM
Who: Everyone is welcome
Cost: Free
Where: Zoom
