About this event

This interactive workshop will look at the prevalence, consequences and causes of negative body image for girls and then focus on practical ways to promote a healthy body image for the girls in your lives. This session is geared towards caregivers who have daughters up to age 18.

Participants will be sent resources and tips to promote a healthy body image for girls. This workshop will be led by Linda Lin, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at Emmanuel College. Linda is a clinical psychologist who has a special focus on health behaviors (e.g. eating disorders, obesity, exercise, smoking). Her research centers on body image and she is passionate about helping women fight a culture that objectifies them and uses beauty/thinness as a measure of women’s value.  

Need-based financial scholarships are available. Please email Leslie Coles at lcoles@momsasmentors.org for more information.
