This includes healthy mental and physical habits, which are unique for each individual. H.I.P.S. holds weekly meetings that include activties and discussions on a variety of topics surrounding body image, self-image, healthy coping skills, stress management, and other related subjects. These meetings aim to be a safe space for people of all genders, races, sexual orientations, abilities, and experiences.
