PBS Keeping Kids Healthy

Posted by Lori Henry Jul 4, 2007

The PBS kids show, Keeping Kids Healthy, will be filming a TV documentary about a family whose child has gone through anorexia.

They are seeking a family with this experience to focus on for the show in order to offer information and education for viewers.

What PBS is looking for:

- a family with a child who has gone through anorexia

- a child who has undergone a residential treatment program

- a child with a personal and inspirational story they are willing to tell

The purpose of focusing on a child is important, as the show is aired on Friday and Saturdays and is aimed at a young audience. The researchers hope that by having a child on the show, the insight will debunk some myths and stigmas that we so often hear in the media.

Keeping Kids Healthy is an educational and informational show that airs on PBS about various physical and mental issues that affect children today.

If you are willing to share your story and fit the above criteria, please contact the producer, Emily Higgins, at: emily.higgins@gmail.com.

If you know of a family who would be willing to share their share their story, please pass along this information.
