OHIO students can now sign up for The Body Project
The Body Project is a peer-led body-acceptance program designed to help college-age students resist cultural pressures to conform to the appearance ideal standard of beauty and reduce their pursuit of unrealistic bodies.
Students are asked to attend four weekly sessions. In these sessions, they are guided by peer-educators to reflect on their own body image and engage in activities with other group members that encourage them to fight against the appearance ideal. There are strategies that they'd be asked to practice between sessions to then be discussed at the following session.
The Body Project is supported by more research than any other body image program and has been found to reduce onset of eating disorders.
Sign-ups for sessions can be found here:
