We support the mental health of Jewish girls via programs designed to improve self-compassion and body acceptance, significantly reducing eating disorder onset.
Eating disorders kill.
Prevention works.
Why is this important?
Between the ages of 6 & 12, almost 50% of children demonstrated dissatisfaction with some aspect of their body.
By adolescence, body dissatisfaction in girls increases to 80% with 70% openly admitting they do not like or feel comfortable in their bodies.
1 out of 8 girls will meet the criteria for an anxiety disorder by age 18.
Self-image, self-esteem, and self-compassion
A healthy self-image boosts physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Research shows prevention programs are effective in supporting self-esteem and body image as well as reducing risk factors for eating disorders.
Atzmi was created specifically to reduce eating disorder onset by supporting self-esteem, self-compassion, and body acceptance for our girls.
