On February 6, 2024, UBC Recreation's Move U Crew invited CAYA Health Centre to host a hybrid workshop on "Exploring the Relationships Between Body Image and Movement", in support of Move UBC. In this recorded workshop, Registered Dietitian Stephanie Dang (she/her) and Registered Clinical Counsellor Dr. Veronica Li (she/her) lead a two-part workshop on diet culture, body image, self-criticism, and the impacts on self-esteem. Stephanie guides viewers through dismantling diet culture, providing strategies for cultivating a balanced and mindful relationship with food. Dr. Li explores the connections between body image, self-criticism, and the influence on self-esteem. View the recorded workshop below.
