The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on youth mental health. Recent reports show increases in mental health symptoms for depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and suicidal ideation. Body dissatisfaction, felt by 70% of girls and 40% of boys, contributes to a host of adolescent mental
health problems, including eating disorders, low self-esteem, depression, isolation, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation. However, school personnel can support their students by integrating multitiered policies and practices around body confidence that will support students’ social, emotional and behavioral health.

EDIN is pleased to deliver the evidence based courses and workshops developed by Be Real USA. 

• Who Should Attend the Training: School Health Professionals, Teachers and Administrators
• What You Will Learn: (1) body image research, (2) practical strategies to create a body confident school environment, and (3) a tested, evidence based body image curriculum to use in health classes.
