Love Your Body Week
What is Love Your Body Week?
Love Your Body Week is a university-wide collaboration to promote body acceptance and positivity at Ohio State. This week of events is devoted to educating, celebrating and creating a sustainable and supportive campus environment for all body types and experiences. Throughout the week, events will take place all over campus covering topics such as self-expression, fitness, body dysmorphia and eating disorders, media representation and influence, embracing your body and creating a culture of positivity.
Love Your Body Week is open to all students, staff and faculty. Whether you are new to the body positivity movement or are a dedicated advocate, we encourage you to attend at least one event this week to enhance or strengthen your body image, learn more about resources and gain skills to support our community.
Love Your Body Week programs, workshops, events, and resources will be offered to:
- Foster a more positive body image
