Body Image and Self Esteem

 Cancer can change the way we look

Body image involves the way we think and feel about our bodies.  Cancer can change how we experience our bodies both physically and emotionally. It can impact the way the body functions, leaves scars, make you lose your hair, and cause changes in moods and energy levels.  These changes can have an impact on our self-esteem.  In this workshop we will explore the impact of a negative body image on self-esteem and identify strategies to assist you in developing a healthy body.
