Healthy Habits: How to Be Well

BREAKOUT SESSION
Having Positive Body Image is LIT!
This breakout session will provide recommended steps that support the development of positive body image for teens, as feeling good about who we are and what we look like can be LIT. We will also focus on some simple and basic daily health practices that can go a long way in supporting a young person’s health and wellness. Additionally, when we don’t feel well, what does that look like, and how do we know when to ask for support? We’ll allow some time at the end to answer questions, as we know that positive body image is a complicated topic and common for teens to have a lot of questions about specific situations that can be tough to navigate. ​
