Resources for Body Image & Eating Disorders
Body Image and Health Task Force
The Body Image & Health Task Force was established in 1996. It was created by concerned individuals over issues of anorexia, bulimia, excessive exercise, laxative and diuretic abuse, fad dieting and disorders dealing with body hatred and self-mutilation that are present at The Ohio State University campus. This collaborative group is comprised of various disciplines and departments from around the campus community.
The mission of the Body Image & Health Task Force is to encourage healthy behavior related to body image by challenging prevailing norms and providing resources. This group's vision is to encourage the acceptance of individualism and foster self-esteem in a positive, healthy manner for all university members.
