PARENT LAB: Promoting Healthy Body Image in Adolescents/ Teens
PARENT LAB: Promoting Healthy Body Image in Adolescents/ Teens (Middle and High School)
Tuesday, October 6, 2026
6:00-7:30PM
Islander Middle School Library
Children and teens often face significant pressure to meet strict, unrealistic and harmful societal ideals around beauty, body build, weight and shape. During adolescence, it can be difficult to maintain a healthy body image because of major physical and emotional changes, and social pressures that occur during this phase of life. Join YFS School-based Counselors, Katie Spencer (IMS) and Caleb Visser (MIHS), to discuss how to help your child build a positive relationship with their body.
