The Silent Battle: Men, Body Image, and Mental Health
For those who identify as male, body image issues aren’t often discussed, yet still impact a major part of the population. Body positivity campaigns exist for women, but what about for men?
How can we understand the short- and long-term effects of negative body image in men? Even more importantly, how can we decrease feelings of shame and inadequacy to help increase body acceptance in males?
In this previously recorded session, Roberto Olivardia, PhD, explains the impact of unaddressed image issues over a lifetime, shares ways to encourage body positivity in male populations, and answers audience questions about what we can do to improve self-esteem and reduce stigma and shame.
