Body Image and Making School Safe

Body Image and Making School Safe

EDFA

About this event

Thursday, February 15, 2024, 8-9.15pm AEDT
Please note this webinar is also open to non-members 

Join EDFA to hear Dr Zali Yager, internationally-recognised expert in the body image space and Executive Director of The Embrace Collective, alongside Kylie Burton, parent advocate and former teacher, talk about advocating for safe environments in schools, an update on the advocacy work being done and what the research suggests is helpful or harmful. They will also discuss what we can do as parents and carers to support our loved ones and ourselves in navigating societal belief systems and minimising their risk factors for developing eating disorders, depression and anxiety.

Zali Yager has been involved in the development of almost every evidence-based body image school program around the world. Kylie Burton has over 25 years experience as an educator. In 2023, she combined her teaching experience with a passion for eating disorder prevention, and began a campaign with Dr Zali Yager of The Embrace Collective and EDFA. Together they proposed a review of the Australian Curriculum v9 and the inclusion of Key Resources and Considerations in the Curriculum Connection: Food and Wellbeing. Currently Kylie is co-writing body image resources for the dance sector.
