MHA provides all of its services in a supportive environment within the context of a psychosocial rehabilitation philosophy, with wellness and recovery the goal. This client-centered approach emphasizes wellness rather than illness, resulting in effective life management, empowerment, independence, self-sufficiency, and community re-integration – regaining dignity and dreams.

The 2015 International Mental Health Congress will be held in Lille, France. This year’s topic will be “Mental Health for All: Connecting People and Sharing Experience” Rebecca will be talking about Eating Disorders as complex mental health conditions that involve genetics, environmental factors, psychological disturbances, neurochemical and biochemical changes, and disturbed thinking patterns.  She states,  “Treating eating disorders requires an accurate diagnosis with the right assessment tools, medical and psychiatric stabilization, nutritional accountability, cognitive restructuring, the instillation of hope, self-love and a connection to Self and the appetite. Neurochemical and genetic expression can be altered and are implicated in disordered eating, food addictions and eating disorders.” This new information will change how eating disorders are understood, prevented and treated.

Dean Margaret J. Weber developed the Dean’s Distinguished Lecture Series in 2010 with the generous support of Susan and Don Rice. To honor her legacy of exceptional leadership Pepperdine University has endowed the lectures as the Margaret J. Weber Distinguished Lecture Series.

“My vision for the lecture series was to provide a rich learning experience for our students, staff, and faculty while enhancing the reputation of the school,” said Dean Weber. “I am thrilled to know that the program will continue and humbled by the honor of the endowment.”

The lecture series was founded by Dean Weber to inspire dialogue about the challenges and leadership opportunities in diverse communities across the world. This forum educates students, faculty, staff, and community members beyond Pepperdine.
