Women experience pressure to fit a norm for their bodies, and for many women the way one looks may determine how they feel about themselves as a whole person. Learn how these pressures affect women and what we can do to feel good about ourselves independent of weight and appearance. Support groups are offered each semester and are facilitated by trained professionals and Women's Center counselors. Groups are free and open to the public, although some restrictions do apply and all require a screening interview. A confidential setting to discuss personal concerns with body image will let you learn from and provide insight to others with similar experiences.
