Body Image Group for Teens
About Kindful Body’s Teen Body Image Group
Kindful Body will be hosting a six-week, virtual body-image support group for teens ages 14-19 who are interested in improving their relationships with their bodies. In this group, participants will be guided through the process of identifying how their body image 'story' has been influenced by messages related to culture, gender, and a variety of other societal elements. '
This group has been designed to promote a sense of community and empowerment between group members as they learn new skills and strategies to improve their body image. The ultimate goal is to assist teens in releasing the mentality that their bodies must be 'fixed' in order to feel confident, while increasing their capacity to channel acceptance and self-compassion as the avenue towards body peace and positivity.
