Eating Disorder and Body Image Awareness
The Wellness Centre is celebrating National Eating Disorder Awareness Week by hosting an educational eating disorder and body image awareness exposé organized by Acceptance Without Limits (AWL).
The event aims to be a fun way for students and the community to address topics such as health at every size, eating disorders, body image and other related topics. There will be multimedia presentations, body cast-making and cookie decorating, as well as information from a variety of on- and off-campus partners.
AWL is a student-run group dedicated to promoting size acceptance and educating both the campus and the community about related issues, including positive body image, self-esteem, healthy eating and fad diets. The Wellness Centre is the educational arm of Student Health Services and is one of 24 peer helper program units on campus.
