Image Gap This activity guide encourages Guides to become aware of their own self-esteem and self-image "problems" and to apply a problem-solving approach to examples of negative self-image.
Gender Stereotypes and Body Image Using this activity guide, Guides will examine the media's role in perpetuating stereotypes and how living up to stereotypes can lead to abuse and violence against ourselves and others. (For Discovering level Guides)
