The trained peer leaders of IC are great resources for the UIUC community. We welcome interested students throughout the year. It is the mission of the Network to actively promote peer education as a useful element of campus health education and wellness efforts. Body Image Network aims to provide educational opportunities to our campus and surrounding community that emphasize prevention and awareness toward body image issues and concerns. The overall goal for the group is to promote size diversity and acceptance among all individuals.
Programs are available to any campus or community group.
We have a ribbon campaign that promotes size diversity and acceptance through the plaid ribbon and is affirming message attached, dare to be different, accept yourself. The group is also involved in Eating Disorders Awareness Week held in the spring. Interested members can apply spring semester. Each applicant goes through an interview process and then fourteen individuals are then selected. The time commitment is for a minimum of one year.
