🗓️ Mark your calendar for our next free workshop! Contrary to popular belief, eating disorders and body image problems affect millions of boys and men. Next month, join us for a conversation with special guest Dr. Roberto Olivardia as we dive into the history of body image in men and learn how boys and men are impacted by eating disorders. Together, we'll discuss the role that traditional notions of masculinity play in male body image and how pop culture and media imagery capitalizes and contributes to the issue. This workshop is free to attend and provides attendees with 1 CE/CME credit hour. You don't want to miss this conversation! Register now to reserve your spot → https://lnkd.in/e_iYfUZX

Check out our new blog post, “Intersection of Diet Culture and Eating Disorders” by Within Health ✍🏼 “When the world is painted in terms of absolutes: “good” and “bad” foods, “right” and “wrong” bodies, it can make every choice or non-choice feel like a moral test and potential trigger. For example, the idea that some foods are “bad” can make someone feel guilty or ashamed after eating them. This is an extremely harmful thought pattern tied to disordered eating and several eating disorders.” Read the full post here: https://lnkd.in/erhQXNwA

Problems with body image commonly develop alongside certain societal pressures to stay thin, lean, muscular, or outwardly appearing as masculine or feminine. These types of body image concerns are frequently a driving factor in the development or maintenance of eating disorders.

During this time, support, honest communication, and a nonjudgmental attitude can make all the difference in your child's life.
