Our 'Positive Body Image' section of InfoHub aims to connect you to trustworthy, relevant resources about topics such as:

• self esteem

• body image

• eating disorders and treatment programs

• tips for how to feel good about who you are

• programs that can help if you have negative body image

• information for parents

• information for women 30+

• information for young women

• how the media create unrealistic beauty ideals

• how media images are digitally altered to create impossible images of beauty.

All of the online resources linked to from our Positive Body Image pages have been checked and recommended by experts working in the fields of body image, eating disorders, women's health, psychology and media. Find out more about our expert panel.

A huge thank you to our project intern, Rachel Browne. Rachel helped source these websites, liaise with our expert panel and upload the resources so that you will have easy, reliable access about this very important issue. Thanks, Rachel!
