Essential Evidence-Based Strategies and Resources \n \nBy Tina Rae & Ali D’Amario
A practical and user-friendly resource designed to equip teenagers with the skills they need to develop and maintain a positive body image. \n \nConcern over appearance is not a recent phenomenon, but social media has fuelled an obsession with body image, bringing it into every aspect of young people's lives. They are bombarded with a beauty ideal that lacks diversity and is based on impossible standards. Yet we all contrast our own perceived imperfections with unrealistic images of 'perfection'. This tendency is even more acute in teenagers, whose bodies are naturally changing and growing, affecting their self-esteem and emotional state. \n \nWith peer pressure and the emotional rollercoaster of hormonal mood swings, it’s hardly surprising that so many teenagers suffer from negative body image. \n \nThis evidence-based resource will provide teachers, support staff and all those working with young people the strategies, practical tips and techniques to help teenagers build resilience and learn how to listen to, take care of and ultimately love their own bodies. \n \nSessions include challenging stereotypes, developing body appreciation, fostering a positive outlook and becoming media literate. They draw on peer-support and self-help techniques including relaxation, positive thinking, reframing, self-compassion and acceptance, prioritising and planning strategies, and wellbeing organisation skills. \n \nResources include photocopiable activities, worksheets, helpful websites, resource suggestions, fact sheets, case studies, icebreaker activities and prompts for group discussion. \n \n148pp A4 paperback
