24.01.2022 The Body Project, an acceptance and eating disorder prevention program for girls aged 13 - 19yrs starts in April in Sandgate, Queensland

21.01.2022 What is The Body Project? A 4 week (one hour per week) eating disorder prevention program which reduces thin-ideal internalisation, body dissatisfaction, negative mood, unhealthy dieting, and eating disorder symptoms. This intervention has also been found to reduce risk for future eating disorders. In addition, there is evidence that the Body Project intervention reduces the risk for future onset of obesity, results in improved psychosocial functioning, and reduces mental ...health care utilisation. The intervention is the outgrowth of a 16-year program of research on the risk factors for eating disorders by Dr Eric Stice and his team at the Oregon Research Institute. Suitable for groups of young people (the research was primarily conducted with females aged 13-19) and offer interventions which demonstrate a significant reduction in risk for eating disorder and obesity onset. The interventions also show decreases in thin-ideal internalization, body dissatisfaction and psychosocial impairments. Keep an eye out for upcoming events for groups planned by our ACFED Approved Prevention Facilitators.
