Meredith women learn about issues

The Sophie Lanneau Lead
ership Program is just one of
the opportunities thal Meredith
students have to fine tune their
leadership skills.
This
leadership
program
deals with
reading and
writing
about per
sonal lead
ership and
going to
leadership
confer-
ences. The
program
has three
levels: the
Foundation of leadership. Sil
ver Leaf and Gold Leaf. When
a student reaches the Gold Leaf
level, she has to do a communi
ty project.
Senior Michelle Drake, who
is in the third level, chosc
Women’s Health Issues Day as
her project. Drake said that she
felt it was neccessary “because
of the environment we are in."
On Monday, Nov. 15, the
Women’s Health Fair had
seven vendors participating.
All of the vendors had their on
booth set up with information
about their organization.
The vendors included the
Raleigh Police Department,
which was promoting public
safety.
Interact, a woman’s crisis
and counseling center, had a
booth on domestic violence
and sexual assault.
If a student wanted informa
tion on pain and massage ther
apy, she could have visited the
Soft Tissue Therapy booth.
For depression, drug abuse,
stress, or suicidal thoughts, stu
dents could visit the-Holly Hill
/ Charter booth. Their booth
had information on how to tell
if someone needs psychiatric
help. Keep in mind they have
free 24-hour assessment, so
they can always be reached at
l-80()-CHARTEiR.
Rex Health Care was also
there, providing information on
breast cancer and how to pre
vent it.
If a student wanted to quit
smoking, then the Healthy
Mothers, Healthy Babies booth
was the one to visit.
Also, keep an eye in the stu
dent activities center for class
es to help you quit smoking.
Of course, no Meredith Col
lege health fair would be com
plete without the Meredith
Health Center and Counseling
Center. They had information
on everything from illnesses to
stress to depression.
If a student did not make it
out to the health fair, Drake
said, then she can call the
Meredith College Health or
Counseling Centers with any
questions or concerns.
