WORKING CONFIDENTLY WITH BODY IMAGE

A training to give professionals greater confidence talking about and working with young peoples' relationship to body image. The training will provide a discussion around the importance of the topic, an awareness of the societal forces working to influence idealised body images, ways to promote a positive and empowering relationship to body image (e.g. language to use), and a couple of practical activities to do with young people that help them reflect on their own relationship to body image.
