Eating Disorders & Body Image
Eating disorders are real, serious, complex medical and psychiatric illnesses that affect people of all genders, ages, races, ethnicities, body shapes and weights, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic statuses. Eating disorders significantly hinder:
- social,
- emotional,
- and academic success
We strive to create a culture that promotes size diversity, body acceptance, and a healthier body image for all humans.
The Body Project
The Department of Health & Wellness offers a program called "The Body Project", which is an evidence driven, empirically and research based eating disorder prevention program that fosters body acceptance and reduces risk for developing Eating Disorders among high school and college aged women.
This is a four-week, peer-led educational group with a clearly outlined, weekly plan delivered in a small group format. They provide three women’s groups quarterly. Each group is facilitated by two Health & Wellness peer educators who provide a forum for young women to confront the culture of unrealistic beauty ideals and engage in the development of healthy body image.
The curriculum for this program was developed as a peer-to-peer delivery model by Eric Stice, PhD, a nationally recognized expert in eating disorders prevention. Three of our health educators in Health & Wellness, and two dieticians in Student Health were trained in the supervision of peer health educators to deliver this program in Summer 2019, and the program was first implemented at UC Santa Barbara in Fall 2019. It has been delivered to over one million young women around the world and has been proven to improve body satisfaction, reduce the risk for eating disorders, and improve school and social functioning.
They ask that you attend all 4 sessions and participate in some basic homework exercises. This will give YOU the best results.
Dr. Stice’s team has developed a new curriculum for men, and we are exploring the possibility of offering two quarterly men’s body image groups this academic year.

Eating Disorders Support at UCSB Student Health Service
After an initial visit and assessment with a medical provider at Student Health, the student will meet with the other providers. After these visits, one of three recommendations may be made:
- If the student is stable enough to continue to meet the demands of college life, support is available on campus. We have a multi-disciplinary approach that includes nutrition, medical, and counseling services.
- Outpatient treatment typically includes a referral into the Santa Barbara community for long-term psychotherapy. Student Health will provide information on health care providers in the community who specialize in eating disorder treatment.
- In the event that a higher level of care is needed, and the student needs to temporarily withdraw from college, the student is referred to a program that offers residential care.

Meditation
Mindfulness Meditation Program
While honoring the traditional roots of meditation practices, Health and Wellness's programs are shaped by the research backed findings of mindfulness as a tool to alleviate suffering in our modern day lives.
As our minds engage in reverberating thoughts of the past or future, we can often over stimulate our fight or flight response.
By retraining the mind to build new neural pathways through the practice of being present minded, we can reduce stress and increase equanimity. Facilitated by a trained instructor, all offerings are beginner friendly with no experience or particular beliefs needed. Come join us!

Sleep Hygiene
We all know sleep is important. As a college student, juggling multiple commitments such as academics, work and a social life, it can be hard to prioritize sleep. However, consistent and quality sleep has a large impact on the success of your academics and overall quality of life. For example, research shows that sufficient sleep improves memory, mood, and performance. The Department of Health & Wellness provides students the opportunity to assess their sleep needs and help them establish consistent sleep routines. We hope that as a result of sleep education, students will prioritize sleep to increase their energy, well-being, and learning potential. Check out the sleep-related resources that they offer below!

Stress Reduction
College can be a stressful time for many reasons, whether it be living away from home, academics, work or relationships. The Department of Health and Wellness aims to provide short-term and long-term stress reduction education and opportunities for students not only to improve academic performance but aid in the process of creating a long, happy and healthy life. The Mental Health Peers also offer many stress reduction resources as well.
Stress is the body's reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses. Stress is a normal part of life. Stress can be positive, keeping us alert, motivated, and ready to avoid danger. Stress becomes negative when a person faces continuous challenges without relief or relaxation between stressors. As a result, the person becomes overworked, and stress-related tension builds. Check out the many stress reduction resources on campus below!
Rejuvenation Station
All students welcome! The Rejuvenation Station is a drop-in space where students can unwind and immerse in self-care. Registration includes tea, mindful activities, and a place to relax. Sign-ups for mini-massages are first-come, first-served, in person, starting 10 minutes prior to the event start time. Connect with other students or with our friendly interns about resources and more opportunities for well-being. Come by the Health and Wellness/Women's Center for a free bluebook, cup of tea, massage and mindful activities.
How to Make Stress your Friend
How you think and act can transform your experience of stress. Oxytocin’s main roles in your body is to protect your cardiovascular system from the effects of stress. So when you reach out to others under stress, either to seek support or to help someone else, you release more of this hormone, your stress response becomes healthier, and you actually recover faster from stress. Check out this TED Talk!
