Transforming Body Image
This workshop is an exploration of gender identity and body image. Traditionally, body image has been discussed in a way that is gender dichotomous and not inclusive of varying expressions of identity. This workshop will explore messages about appearance and gender and how they impact body image and self esteem. Presenters from Counseling And Psychological Services (CAPS) will help participants feel empowered to explore body image in a healthy way that allows for integration of intersecting identities. This workshop assumes a pre-existing level of familiarity with basic issues around gender identity.
