Dot Parks, NS, NM will be reinvigorating Chamberlain School’s commitment to assisting our students in developing a healthy lifestyle. Dot will be working in conjunction with our nursing faculty to address the dietary and exercise needs of our students. As in the past, Dot will continue to meet with any faculty who oversee menu planning. Assistance will be given to create menus that are not only healthy, but appealing to our students. She will continue to meet with students in their dorms, observe meal preparation and meal times to assist both students and faculty in modifying current habits and adopt new strategies which will lead to life long healthy living.
We look forward to Dot’s continued involvement, ideas and energy she brings to the topic. For more information on the services she can offer, please visit her on the web at Dotparkes.com or contact Barit White, RN, Director of Nursing.

From Publisher’s Weekly– “Wolf, a clinical psychologist who works with adolescents, clearly has a feel for both the angst of young people who must deal with an evermore complex world….Humorous and insightful, Wolf describes what is, rather than what mothers and fathers of rebellious and thoughtless adolescents wish would be.
