The Real Me Experience
The NEDIC Real Me Experience is a new interactive website on self-esteem and body image.
The Real Me Experience was developed to help young women understand themselves better. The connection between how we think and feel about ourselves and how we behave is explored.
Issues explored through quizzes and stories include:
- Examining our own self-esteem
- What is our body image like?
- How do the following influence our self-esteem and body image?
- Values and norms in our culture
- Our family
- Friends and peers
The site is private and personal and gives the user an opportunity to explore thoughts, beliefs and behaviours that impact self-esteem and body image.
Best of all, there are a variety of tips and suggestions for improving the way you feel about yourself and your body.
The NEDIC Real Me Experience was fully funded by the Dove Self-Esteem Fund as part of its mandate to foster positive self-esteem in women and girls.
