Professional Outreach Suggestions

The WSBC Professional Outreach Committee is requesting the service of all OA service bodies in helping us toward our goal of reaching Medical and Mental Health Care Professionals throughout the world. The following is the information your individual groups will need to help reach our goal.

Please refer to the link below at www.oa.org for the WSBC Professional Outreach Committee plan for reaching our Mental Health Care Professionals. Please open the link and print out the materials. These are downloadable and give detailed descriptions of the process we suggest for a successful outreach. The goal is to have service body reps bring this information back to their home group and announce this project during their OA announcements. This project goes one step further than just doing the outreach. We are asking those who bring a packet to either their Medical or Mental Health Professional report back to the committee chairs so we are able to track the effectiveness of this project. These steps are clearly outlined including a poster to post at your meeting.

Thank you for your service in extending the hand and heart to compulsive eaters through our medical community. Please contact us if you have any questions.
