POSITIVE BODY IMAGE

The Center will launch a new project in early 2005.  PBI is for middle school students, and will emphasize a healthy attitude for one's physical self. Positive Body Image will utilize videos and interactive lectures to highlight the effects that the media, peers and the family have on a child's self-esteem.  Learn how to counteract negative messages and to expose the illusion of perfection that has been created as a standard in our culture.

Parent Workshops will also be offered as adults need to understand how their attitudes toward dieting, thinness, body dissatisfaction and an overemphasis of beauty can negatively effect their children.

PBI's goal is to have everyone think about ways of looking at themselves and their bodies more happily and healthfully.
