Who can join the program?
 
Girls between the ages of 12 and 18 years old
  Girls who are concerned about their body shape and weight
  Girls who are often dieting
  Girls who are engaging in unhealthy eating behaviours
  Girls who would like to learn more about these issues and how to deal with them if they arise
Location
 
Girls can participate from anywhere they have internet access. Most girls participate from home, however, girls without internet access usually arrange the use of a friend’s or relative’s computer.
Length of Program
    The group sessions run once per week for 90 minutes for eight consecutive weeks. There is a follow-up session two months after the eighth session.
Times and Dates
    Group sessions will be conducted throughout 2007, at times and dates that are suitable for group members. The best option is to contact Hannah Hoile or Siân McLean and notify them of your interest and availability. They can then notify you of when the next groups will be beginning.
Additional Requirements
  Parental consent is required to participate in the program.
 
We ask all participants to complete a few short questionnaires taking approximately 30 minutes (at a few time periods).
