Why I created this resource
This resource is created to support anyone who has young people in their life (or who works with those who do) - whether you’re a parent, carer, guardian, sibling, or extended family member; volunteer, health practitioner, teacher, babysitter, hairdresser, or family friend; someone who’s multiple of these at once; and/or more!
In a world rife with diet culture and appearance pressures, it aims to help keep young people in folks lives safer from disordered eating and body image concerns, and to support them in having a more positive relationship with food, nourishment, movement, & body.
What does this resource cover?
Written in an affirming, accessible, and compassionate way, it runs through key pointers regarding:
What can harm vs what can help (and how to support this)
Building safety, self-identity, and ensuring that needs are met
Language/conversations to avoid, and what to say instead)
Normalisation of diversity, and the rejection of harmful messages
Prompts to help ensure we model safer, more positive ways of engaging with food and body (practicing what we preach)
