BODY COMPASSION MINDSET WORKSHOP
BODY COMPASSION MINDSET WORKSHOP
Building body confidence in an online world.
For 10-13yo girls
Sat 7 June | 1.30-4.30pm
Bay Rd Collective | Claremont
Access to social media and the internet is changing the way girls view themselves and affecting their confidence, self esteem and body image. Research shows us that there has been a steep decline in mental health with the onset of social media.
"More than 90% of 12-18yo people in Australia have some concern about their body image."(Butterfly.org)
EARLY EDUCATION IS EMPOWERING
Our culture around body image and placing value on a girls looks has an enduring impact on your girls body image for life.
Education is critical for girls to grow up understanding what they see is not all real.
Evidence shows that early education in the pre teen years, supports a healthier body image and improved lifestyle and online choices.
The 3 core parts of this workshop are
