| Abstract |
Body dissatisfaction is a common problem that many women and girls face. This issue can lead to other health concerns, including disordered eating behaviors. The interconnectedness of families, as described in family systems theory, purports that changing attitudes and behaviors in one family member will influence the same changes in other family members. Targeting current and future parents as well as role models in behavior change programs has been shown to positively affect youth health behaviors. An education program designed to help women heal body image concerns and build body confidence can create lasting positive impacts, benefiting not only the women themselves but also current and future generations. Skills such as gratitude, self-compassion, mindfulness, self-care, and empowerment are effective in reducing body dissatisfaction and enhancing body appreciation. |
