Dove Campaign for Real Beauty: A FREE Self-Esteem Workshop for Girls - 9 am - 12 pm Everyday we are bombarded by hundreds if not thousands of airbrushed images of “beauty.” These images have the power to affect how we see our bodies and ourselves. How can we encourage young girls and women everywhere to embrace a more positive image of themselves, both inside and out? You can start by participating in this upcoming Dove Real Beauty Workshop for Girls. The Dove Real Beauty Workshop for Girls offers fun, educational, and interactive sessions for young girls ages 11-14 and their adult female mentors. These mentors include mothers, relatives, friends, or anyone interested in starting a dialogue on beauty and self-image with a member of the next generation. By attending this workshop, you will learn how society creates “ideal” images of beauty as well as how to engage young girls in a healthy dialogue about self-esteem. Cost: Free Day & Time: Saturday, February 6th 9:00am – 12:00pm Led By: Brinda Prabhakar, Counselor Intern & Heather Donnow, MS Location: The Anxiety & Stress Management Institute, 1640 Powers Ferry Road, Building 9, Suite 100, Atlanta, Georgia 30067 Please see our website for directions: www.StressMgt.net
