How do you feel about your body? Did you immediately answer 'Great!' with a smile? If not, don't worry, you're not alone. Body image is a very common issue for children, youth, and even adults. Media sources portray a specific body type wherever we are and it's easy to see how children, teens, and adults can feel bad about their bodies and physical characteristics. Building a positive body image can counteract the negative images that may be felt or the images that we compare ourselves to. Attend this learning event to discover the definition of body image, factors that influence body image, gender differences that affect body image, and strategies to improve self-esteem.
Participants will engage in 5 hours of online coursework that includes powerpoint presentation with audio and discussion prompts, video clips, required reading materials, online polls, and interactive slides to encourage interaction and engagement as well as increase learner retention of knowledge.
Registration always open!
