Schools

Teen Stress & Body Image

Teens and parents are invited to a PTSA talk on  teen body image, from evaluating stress levels to discussing it with your family.

Shelly Ball, Mental Health Specialist and Connie Sobczek from The Body Positive will show a short video and then discuss promoting healthy body image and eating in high school and beyond.

What's a parent's or a friend's role? How can we help teens develop healthy thinking about their bodies and eating? Treatment, options, coping strategies and outreach will also be discussed, and there will be time for questions.
