YOUR BODY AND YOU

-FREE-

YOUR BODY AND YOU:


SELF ESTEEM, BODY IMAGE AND EATING DISORDERS WORKSHOP
Neighbourhood Services Centre at the Salvation Army Eastwood, 3199 Lauzon Road, is holding a free educational and supportive workshop on November 20th, from 7:00 PM until 9:00 PM.
à The image of female beauty portrayed in the media is attainable for only a small number of women. One out of every four college-aged women uses unhealthy methods of weight control—including fasting, skipping meals, excessive exercise, laxative abuse, and self-induced vomiting. The pressure to be thin is also affecting young girls: the Canadian Women's Health Network warns that weight control measures are now being taken by girls as young as 5 and 6.ß
A representative from the Bulimia Anorexia Nervosa Association will be here to address these issues. They will discuss such topics as nutrition, body image, self-esteem, media literacy, dangers of dieting, and eating disorders.
PLEASE CALL 519-944-4922 to register.
