Saved By The Bell’s Elizabeth Berkley is teaming up with MTV to develop a show that helps teen girls with self-esteem and body image issues in a workshop called “Ask Elizabeth.”

Apparently Berkley has been putting on these workshops around the world for the past two and a half years to teach young girls how to love themselves and their bodies.

On her official website, Ask-Elizabeth.com she writes:

“Dear girls, you are here in this world to shine your light and share your special gifts that make you who you are. I wanted to create a safe place for you to feel heard, to feel seen, and to get the help you need to feel your best! You are not alone… We are in this life together! There are moments in life when we feel like we are losing our way, and Ask Elizabeth is here to help you remember!!!”

Amy Bailey, Vice President of Development at MTV, said Berkley approached them with the idea.

“She does these workshops around the country with teen girls and gets them to really open up about their issues, like self-esteem and body issues. We had been looking for a program that tackled the same issues, so it seemed like a perfect match.”

MTV says they are looking to shoot the pilot for the show, tentatively titled “Ask Elizabeth,“ this fall.

I think these types of workshops for girls are a huge necessity in today’s society. I hope that the show works out because everyone, especially girls, need encouragement and empowerment and to put it on a huge network like MTV is a great idea.
