In today’s digital age, teenagers are increasingly exposed to unrealistic standards of beauty and success, often perpetuated by social media and popular culture. This constant exposure can significantly impact their self-esteem and body image, leading to a range of emotional and psychological challenges.

According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, at least 30 million people of all ages and genders suffer from an eating disorder in the U.S., with a significant portion being teenagers. A study by Common Sense Media found that approximately 22% of girls and 14% of boys experienced negative feelings about their body image due to social media. These statistics underscore the urgent need for support systems to address these challenges.

Recognizing the need for effective intervention, we understand that addressing the complexity of self-esteem and body image among teens requires a proactive approach while encouraging them to reflect on and question the unrealistic standards of beauty and success set by society and media. Our expert self-esteem and body image speakers for high schools, colleges and organizations are a crucial part of this approach. Our speakers are not just experts in their field; They bring evidence based knowledge, personal experience, compassion and understanding that connects with teens on a level that is respectful and impactful, paving the way for a generation that is informed, aware, and ready to promote positive body image and help their peers do the same. 

Our presentations are designed not just to inform but also to equip teens with the necessary skills and tools to recognize the signs, seek help, and understand the long-term implications of their choices while building a future where every teen feels supported, valued, and equipped to face life with a healthy view of themselves. 

We invite high schools, colleges and community organizations to partner with us. Together, we can confront the complex challenges of body image and low self-esteem in teens head-on, ensuring a healthier  future for the next generation.
