The events will offer female university students an opportunity to engage in a healthy-body image program. It aims to encourage participants to love their bodies irrespective of the physical appearance. Through a variety of fun and engaging exercises, activities, and discussions, trained peer facilitators will prepare participants to embrace the healthy ideal, counter fat-talk in their daily lives, promote body activism, and embrace non-appearance related characteristics in themselves and others. The project involves two separate, two-hour sessions. Participants must attend both.
For information about or to request healthy body image programs for male Illinois State students, please contact the organizer at (309) 438-3655 or email.
