Body U is an initiative funded by the Missouri Eating Disorders Council and coordinated out of the Center for Healthy Weight and Wellness in the Department of Psychiatry at Washington University in St Louis School of Medicine.
Body U is currently available to any Missouri resident who is 18+ and is an evidence-based program, based on 25+ years of research conducted at Stanford University and Washington University in St. Louis. The program offers eating disorders, depression, and anxiety screening and then directs individuals to tailored online interventions aimed at promoting healthy behaviors and addressing these issues. We have something to offer everyone – those who feel as though they already have healthy habits, those who are struggling with depression and anxiety, and those who feel as though their eating, exercise, and body image could use some work.
"This program helped me see a side of me I have not seen in a long time. I saw myself as beautiful. I learned that I am not the only one going through what I am going through, and that there are people willing to help." - Body U Participant
