how do I speak to teens about food?

the issue we’re facing

As educators, we all understand how hard it can be to teach when the teens listening are exhausted. Conversations about food can sometimes feel daunting. So many of us don’t want to say the wrong thing or make an issue worse than it is, which can lead to us not saying anything at all when a young person needs support.

Food plays such an important role in giving teens the energy they need to focus and feel energised at school, so equipping yourself with the language to use is imperative to start having conversations.

This is where we come in!

We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming FREE webinar,
“how do I speak to teens about food?”

The approach you will learn in our webinar is kind, gentle and evidence-based. Our hope is that you leave feeling empowered to speak about food in a way that injects light and joy into your school community.

our impact

  • “I didn’t realise until today that I had been struggling with my body image. I felt I could relate to Gel’s story - it really opened my eyes. It really assisted in shifting my perspective of my own personal struggles with body image. Now I feel so empowered and uplifted.”

    - Year 9 Student, Santa Maria College

  • “Something that really hit me was when she spoke about when she stopped eating to make herself look better, as it is something I have experienced before with myself, and also really everything with her presentation because it made me realise a lot of things and she motivated me to during things in a positive way as well."
