Healthy Transitions for Girls helps girls to develop positive body image. You bet! Developing positive body image during a girl's transition through puberty is a CRITICAL FACTOR in preventing substance abuse, eating disorders, unhealthy dating relationships, low self-esteem, and mood disorders. Yet sadly, studies indicate that as many as 80 percent of girls have negative body image. At a time when they are most vulnerable, today’s girls face an epidemic of unrealistic, destructive, and sexualized messages about appearance, identity, and relationships. Without intervention from informed parents, mentors, counselors, and educators, girls will not be able to navigate the minefield of media messages that destroy identity, self-worth, and moral boundaries essential for long-term, healthy relationships.
