Eating and Body Image Concerns
Tuesdays, 3:00 - 4:30 p.m.

This is an inclusive space intended for those struggling in their relationship with food, movement, and/or their bodies.  It will include a combination of semi-structured skills-based psychoeducation, connecting with others with similar experiences, increasing awareness of the origins and nature of these concerns, and challenging societal expectations of appearance and diet culture.  The group is confidential, meets weekly throughout the semester, and uses a Health At Every Size and anti-diet framework.
