REbeL is a student-led education and prevention program
designed to address eating and body image concerns.

The name, REbeL, is based on the idea that we are encouraging students to rebel against . . .
  • making appearance more important than health
  • conformity
  • peer pressure
  • the diet mentality
  • our society's unrealistic standards of beauty and physical attractiveness

Also important is the focus on teaching students to be:
  • aware of and informed about these issues
  • critical consumers of the media, and of diet and appearance-related products
  • agents of change in their schools and communities

In short, the basic message of the program is REbeL:  be YOU!
