China 2026
From highlight reels to #fitspiration, today’s youth are inundated with messages about how they are supposed to look, act, and perform. These influences- often used for motivation- can trigger comparison and breakdown self-esteem. With rates of anxiety, depression, and eating disorders on the rise, teaching students to analyze these influences with a critical eye is an essential part of any Health and PE program. In this session, we’ll be exploring resources and strategies designed to help students of all ages learn to love and take care of the body they’re in.
