Make a DonationMany therapists and counselors in the pyschological community are labeling the current state of eating disorder illnesses in this country as an epidemic. The Body Positive provides education on eating disorders and awareness of body-image issues to Bay Area pediatricians, middle and high-school students, teachers, school administrators and staff, as well as to the community-specific support systems for schools. We believe that the epidemic of eating disorders among teens warrants thoughtful, practical, effective change in the shape of a preventative awareness education approach. The project reaches out to 6-12th grade students using their language, values and ideals.
