Sample AC linked HYP Mission

Positive Body ImageMore than three-quarters of young Tasmanians report body image as an issue of personal concern, and there is more socially-driven pressure than ever on young people to be physically ‘perfect’. Body preoccupation affects the physical and emotional wellbeing of young people and robs them of energy, time and creativity. School is the ideal place for young people to challenge stereotypes and social expectations.
