Program Details

Now more than ever, adolescents are facing increased social pressure to meet unrealistic standards. This can result in feeling a lack of freedom and ability to express oneself. This can lead to lower levels of physical activity, decreased mental and social well-being, and create struggles with body image. We created FWMY as a positive alternative to help resist these societal norms.
