YouthWell will present body positive, our body image can influence our mental health, a free virtual workshop, 4:30-6 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 14.

Students (ages 10-25), parents, teachers, and those working with youth will learn from TEDx speaker Jenny Schatzle how body neutrality can transform self-image and improve self-esteem. She will talk about tools on how to eliminate negative messages.

Local leader Jordan Killebrew and college student Caroline Anderson will share their experiences of overcoming an eating disorder, and Heather Lengyle, dietician nutritionist, will explain disordered eating, warning signs, and how to support someone with an eating disorder.

Schatzle is known locally for promoting authenticity and body positivity, emphasizing that to change the conversation, individuals first must change the conversation within themselves. Schatzle is a speaker, blogger, two-time TEDx speaker, part-owner of Bond Fitness, and author of “Breaking the Cycle: Free Yourself from the Story That’s Holding You Back!”

“My biggest challenge was believing in who I was, my worth and my talent. And what I found out very quickly was that my greatest talent is being authentically me,” she said. “We all have a superpower and that power is being exactly who we are.”

YouthWell provides monthly Wellness Workshops at 4:30 p.m. Sundays for youth, parents, caregivers, and those working with youth. For more, visit YouthWell.org.
