Who We Are

The Renee Crown Wellness Institute is seeking a dedicated Professional Research Assistant to support the facilitation of the mind.body.voice.

Together, this team has examined cultural attitudes regarding gender, body image, and mental health, has convened and studied large community education gatherings, and has co-designed an innovative program for application in schools and after-school/summer programs. This program, called mind.body.voice. (m.b.v.), is based on one of the most widely studied peer delivery eating disorder prevention programs. Students in m.b.v. work with peer mentors to learn to talk back to pressures about how girls and women should appear, connect to and listen to their bodies through the use of contemplative practices. The program incorporates discussion, reflection, collaboration, and practice to learn skills to support individual wellness and to take action to change school communities to create a world that values women for who they are and not appearance.
