The Body Project

There is an exciting upcoming opportunity for students to take part in a 4-week evidence-based program called The Body Project! Here is some more information provided below about the program:

The Body Project is an evidenced-based body acceptance program offered in a group setting that provides a safe space for all women to confront and challenge unrealistic appearance ideals through group discussion and interactive activities. The program seeks to give participants knowledge in developing a healthier body image and self-esteem. In numerous research studies, it has repeatedly been shown to effectively reduce body dissatisfaction and internalization of the appearance ideal. Open to all women who are undergraduate and graduate students. Non-binary students are welcome, but should know that this course is designed for participants for whom being a woman is a part of their lived experience.

Attendance is required at all sessions.

*When this originally went out, the description had not yet been approved by the facilitators and the person responsible for the language wants to share a deep apology to those who were affected by the language used. This has been a learning experience for all involved and our work never stops. The UHS Health Promotion Office is committed to serving every individual students’ unique health needs, as well as fostering a culture that values diversity, equity, and inclusion.
