Garber: Obesity Is Winnable On An Individual Basis

Pamela Garber is a psychotherapist who believes that one of the main causes of childhood obesity is a lack of education on the subject. She discusses how schools and parents should get involved in what children are eating. Garber also thinks that it is important for school counselors to talk to children one-on-one about their health. She states, "An individual school counselor can establish a therapeutic bond with the child, rule out abuse in the family, create goal sheets or treatment plans with the child and perhaps a group meeting with several children on a weekly basis structured as health ed."
