Poor body image in youth leads to individuals not voicing an opinion and avoiding academic, social and economic opportunities. Building resilience in youth is key to helping them achieve a more positive body image and strong self-esteem.
Revised for 2016! Now with five lessons per grade, Beyond Images has been updated to provide tools for educators to help students understand the messages they may encounter on social media.
Beyond Images invites youth to engage in the world of media on their terms! Students learn how media messages are constructed both mechanically and symbolically – then learn to make their own media messages about beauty beyond the obvious. Beyond Images explores current concepts of male and female beauty and what it means to “fit in”, helping students understand and develop resilience against negative messaging.
