Body Image

Mission of the group: 

To provide a safe and confidential support group for men and women who want to find a more accepting way to live with their body.

Goals of the group:

  • The group is designed for women and men of all cultures, ages, and sizes to explore the personal, interpersonal, and social issues related to body image, eating disorders, food, fat, thin, and self-acceptance. 
  • The group will also explore ways in which the media, society, parents, peers, and family promote and reflect the cultural standard for body shape, size, and beauty.
  • The group will explore, discuss, and learn a more accepting way to live life with our own body.
  • The group will aim to promote healthy bodies, and therefore encourage members to challenge societal norms for body image and celebrate all body types of all ages and cultures.

The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.
