HONORING WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH
BODY IMAGE RESILIENCE
In a world where most girls and women live in a very uncomfortable "comfort zone" of body shame, anxiety, and fixation on appearance, the Beauty Redefined Body Image Resilience Program is designed to help you find peace and purpose. By learning about and utilizing our game-changing approach to positive body image through body image resilience, you can face current and future body image difficulties with clarity and strength. Megan Vasquez, Sr. Director of Wellness at NSYMCA, will speak to us about Beauty Redefined and how you can face current and future body image difficulties with clarity and strength.
Our conversation will focus on:
- Recognizing harmful messages in media and culture about female bodies;
- Reflecting on the ways those ideals have impacted your life;
- Redefining the ways you think about beauty, health, and individual worth; and
- Developing resilience through your own path that utilizes four sources of power.
This event is sponsored by the NSYMCA Committee for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI), and the YMCA Education Series (YES). The DEI committee is a collective of NSYMCA staff and board members helping bring to life our mission of equity for all.
The YMCA EDUCATION SERIES (YES), formerly the Adult Education Series, is a series of presentations offered by experts in their field who share their expertise regarding topics of interest to our community as free live programs which are also recorded as podcasts and made available on the NSYMCA YouTube Platform. www.nsymca.org/yes
