mdx Mindset Talks - Body Image

Our next mdxMindset Talks event is taking place on Thursday 15 December. In this hybrid session, we will be encouraging open and safe conversation about body image and how the environment and media around us influence how we perceive ourselves.

What will I learn?

With many people celebrating and travelling around the New Year, we notice that society puts a lot of focus on body image. New Year’s Resolutions often include "getting in shape", and guilt about eating too much during celebrations is expressed frequently.

This is reflected in wider society through the images that are published, the expectations in the age of social media, and a lack of representation of differences.

Let’s talk about developing a positive body image, our relationships with food, and supporting healthy lifestyle choices with our expert panel.

We invite all students, parents, faculty and community members to join us to discuss and shed light on this important mental health topic and open up the conversation around body image.
