Overall aim of the programme
A comprehensive and authentic pack (comprising DVD and 5 interactive lesson plans) has evolved from extensive outreach work with young people and is an ideal resource for reducing the number of young people who develop eating distress.
The powerful DVD follows the lives of 3 young women who reflect on their own experiences in an attempt to pinpoint the origins of their eating disorders. Providing a clear definition of “eating distress” and an understanding of events or situations that could “trigger” an eating disorder. This film has been developed by professionals working with young people, for young people, and therefore speaks in a language they understand.
Target group: The majority of eating disorders commence during school age so this preventive package targets all young people aged between 11 - 16 year olds. Designed for use by professionals in a variety of learning environments.

• Clearly presented, widely accessible and easy to follow.
