‘Be-YOU-Tiful’ winners
A Prospect High School senior is among the winners of the 16th annual Be-YOU-Tiful Multimedia Contest held by the Campbell-based Eating Disorders Resource Center (EDRC).
The contest gave Bay Area middle and high school students the opportunity to creatively address their perspectives, experiences and emotions on this year’s theme of mental health, identity, self-acceptance and self-care. The goal of the nonprofit EDRC’s Multimedia Contest is to encourage students to challenge harmful body image ideals and empower them to advocate for solutions.
In “What Would I Tell My Past Self About My Mental Health and Self-Care?,” which took first place in the high school essay category, Prospect student Joy Hou writes, “The first thing I would tell my past self about mental health and self-care is that I do not need to follow my cultural stereotypes and expectations and feel bad about myself for being a little slow due to a disability.”
Hou’s essay was among submissions from students attending 16 different Bay Area middle and high schools. Contest winners and their entries will be recognized at the EDRC’s Multimedia Contest reception on May 31 at the Los Gatos Therapy Center, 4850 Union Ave., San Jose.
