Amazing Me Program (Perez)
The Amazing Me Program is an evidence-based program designed to help children ages 9 to 11 build self-esteem, body confidence, and eliminate weight-based bullying and teasing. This school-based curriculum satisfies national educational health requirements and provides tools for teachers to implement in 4th and 5th grade classrooms.
CURRENT RESEARCH
Funded by the Dove Self-Esteem Project, we are now partnering with schools across the nation to implement the curriculum in 4th and 5th-grade classrooms. With this study, our goal is to help children build self-esteem and body confidence. We also want to learn more about how the Amazing Me Program works with different educators, students, and classrooms.
