A workshop on disordered eating, poor body image, and how you can help as a teacher
 

Since the pandemic, eating disorders and disordered eating have risen sharply. Often, educators notice behaviours in school before parents are even aware there is a problem. Teachers are reporting whole classes of elementary students who are throwing out their lunches, engaging in restriction, and commenting negatively on their bodies. What can you do when you see these troubling warning signs in your students?

This workshop will steer you in the right direction and provide resources to foster body positive conversations with your students, work effectively with parents, and help shape your school culture to embrace Health At Every Size (HAES).

Who is this workshop for:
- Teachers, school counsellors and administrators (K-12)
- Parents,  Parent Councils,  or other groups interested in preventing eating disorders 

Cost: 
Schools, large Groups or organizations: $300
Special price for small, family groups (max 10): $100. Virtual only
