Led by Carolyn Becker, professor of psychology at Trinity University, this community talk invites the public to discuss more than a decade’s worth of research on developing and disseminating proven strategies to prevent eating disorders and develop healthy body image. Becker will provide steps for freeing individuals, particularly women and girls, from excessive focus on physical appearance. A panel discussion featuring CU-Boulder researchers, BVSD counselors, eating disorder clinicians and other local experts will follow.
