Conversations about Body Image and Eating Disorders

The DSM states that the onset of Body Dysmorphia Disorder starts around ages 12 and 13—middle school. We live in an age where image is everything, and how we think or feel about what our body looks like isn't necessarily reality. So how can we as parents have conversations with our kids about body image?

On this episode of Coming & Going, Joe talks to Leah Ethier, a licensed mental health professional, and Shanna Craig, Troy Student Director, to learn more about body image, body dysmorphia, and eating disorders and how parents can model healthy habits and truths to their kids.
