Body Project Online Facilitator Training March 3 &4: Gold-standard eating disorder prevention and body image program

About this event

The Body Project is one of only two programs in the world proven to prevent eating disorders. No other body image program has this level of independent research behind it.

This training will prepare you to deliver the program with confidence. It is interactive and practical, not a passive webinar. You'll learn in a small group (max 12 people) with Professor Phillippa Diedrichs, a world-leading body image and prevention researcher, Fellow of the Academy for Eating Disorders, and award-winning educator, author and speaker. Professor Diedrichs has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers and was trained by The Body Project's original creators, Drs Eric Stice and Carolyn Becker. She has also led international research trials on its effectiveness. This is a chance to learn from someone at the forefront of evidence-based body image and prevention programming.

In our Foundation Training, you'll complete a 1-hour self-paced module (videos, reading and self-reflective exercises) and attend two 4-hour live Zoom training sessions where you'll practice facilitating and receive personalised coaching and feedback. By the end, you'll be equipped to run Body Project sessions in your community, delivering a program shown to reduce body dissatisfaction, disordered eating, and low mood for years after participation.

"This is the only training in my life where I feel able and qualified to apply my new learning directly in my community in such a short timespan. It\'s very empowering!" (Emma H., Coach)

The training also includes 12-months of ongoing support through our resource hub (programme manuals, training videos, recruitment templates, tools to measure your impact, a private online community discussion board) and invitations to follow-on expert webinars with leading international body image and prevention researchers and practitioners.

About The Body Project

The Body Project is a group programme for teenagers and young adults. It runs over four one-hour sessions and can be delivered in schools, universities, or community settings. Developed at Stanford University and Trinity University, it has now reached over 4.5 million people in 136 countries.The programme works through cognitive dissonance. Participants challenge unrealistic appearance ideals through discussions, role plays, and exercises. Because they take an active role rather than simply listening, they shift their own beliefs and behaviours. This is far more effective than traditional education or awareness campaigns.Research published in leading journals shows participants experience lasting reductions in body dissatisfaction, negative mood, dieting, and disordered eating, with benefits maintained for up to three years. The Body Project is one of only two programmes proven to prevent eating disorders from developing, not just reduce risk. And it can be delivered by a wide range of people, including teachers, nurses, counsellors, and youth workers, after just one to two days of training.
