Interactive Art Therapy with UQ Counselling
This year medical professionals finally acknowledged BMI (Body Mass Index) was not an effective measure of health. Finally, a healthy body does not have to be defined by a number.
To celebrate this change UQ Student Counselling is hosting an interactive art therapy event for Body Image Aware and Eating Disorders Awareness Week (BIEDAW). The activity will pose the question – What does a healthy body mean for me or the person I care the most about in the world?
Students are welcome to explore this question through the use of clay, paint or card making.
