the LGBTQ+ dare 2019 sessions
Project Dare in partnership with South London and Maudsley Recovery College are running a body confidence/body image course for the LGBTQ+ community. We have been awarded Health Innovation Network funding to see if our award-winning Dare Sessions workshops can benefit the LGBTQ+ community.
The course employs drama, theatre and a variety of practical activities that explore body image, practice self-compassion and nurture self-esteem. These all-practical workshops aim to chip away at the body image insecurities of participants and to support ‘Darers’ on their journey of feeling comfortable being in the skin they are in. The emphasis is on celebrating the body and having fun.
