Body Image Workshop

The Body Image Workshops are designed to educate young people about body image and becoming 'media literate'. They are preventative programs with the objective of providing participants with a safe environment to holistically reflect on their personal identity and build self-esteem and personal coping skills that can be incorporated into everyday life. The Body Image Workshop has featured in the Sydney Morning Herald's Health and Science section and was developed at Concepts.

The extensive program includes topics such as:
- Developing a positive self-esteem based on strengths and qualities rather than physical appearances.
- Becoming media literate; learning strategies to challenge unrealistic images of men and women presented in the media, and the art of 'photo shopping'.
- How genetics, lifestyle choices, attitudes of friends and family, culture ideals and self-esteem impacts on body image.
- Self-esteem and positive attitude strategies; how to feel good about oneself and others.

Body Image workshops are available for Grades 7-9 and Grades 3-6, both male and female students and are run according to interest.
