The Body Project comes to WSU The Body Project comes to WSU

Do you want to spread body positivity on campus and learn how to break down social stigma around body size and weight? The Body Project is a free peer-led training that aims to help young women feel better about their bodies and provide a safe place for women to openly discuss their body image concerns and to explore the sociocultural pressures to conform to unrealistic beauty ideals.

This program has been found to improve body satisfaction, reduce risk for eating disorders and improve school and social functioning for hundreds of young women across the country.

All workshops consist of two days of two-hour sessions (usually one week apart). All sessions will be led by trained student facilitators. During workshops, students will be asked to engage in a number of verbal, written and behavioral exercises.

If you know of any student organizations, sororities or classrooms interested in requesting a workshop, email wsubodyproject@wichita.edu or check out our website for more information at http://www.wichita.edu/j/?5287.

The Body Project is an all-female led program and is intended for a female audience at this point.
