In an age of social media, the issue of body image has become even more topical among young people.
\nThe Butterfly Foundation reported in September 2018 that 41.5 percent of Australians will compare themselves to others on social media, with 98 percent of young people using social media at least once a day (Australian Bureau of Statistics).
\nIn recent weeks, social media platform Instagram has trialled removing the number of public \u2018likes\u2019 on each post.
\nMoorabool Shire Council has partnered with the Butterfly Foundation to provide a free session for parents, carers and community members to share information and tips to better understand and support children and teens’ body confidence.
\nThe session will cover why positive body image, non-dieting approaches and healthy behaviours in relation to food and exercise are strong protective factors; what to do if your child expresses negativity towards themselves or others; the power of positive role modelling; warning signs and sources of help.
\nMoorabool Shire Council Community Development Acting GM Sharon McArthur said the aim of the program \u201cis to bring together different parts of the community to create lasting pathways in the promotion of body esteem.\u201d
\n\u201cIt is essential that we educate around the importance of prevention and early intervention for body dissatisfaction and eating disorders,\u201d said Ms McArthur.
\n\u201cThis is a fantastic opportunity for students, parents and professionals in Moorabool to get information, practical tools and resources to address this important issue.\u201d
\nThe partnership came about after the Butterfly Foundation sent an expression of interest to councils interested in bringing a program to communities, with the program matching Moorabool Shire\u2019s 2018-2021 Youth Strategy.
\nPriority Area 1 in the 2018-2021 Youth Strategy focuses on health and wellbeing for young people.
\nOther programs focussing on youth health and wellbeing include an art program for young people aged 12-18 years, with a focus on improved mental health, positive self-image and increased self-esteem.
\nThe free meeting will be held on Monday, 5 August between 7pm \u2013 8.30pm at the Supper Room at 215 Main Street, Bacchus Marsh.
