Food, feelings and faith
Food, Feelings and Faith is a Christian, faith-based resource that helps young people understand eating disorders and how to prevent them, all within the context of faith in God
Packed with activities, video content, group discussions, and individual reflections, it is interactive, thought-provoking, and sensitive to the subject matter
This resource has been designed to work in any Christian context, such as church youth groups and Christian schools.
The three interactive sessions have reflections and time for prayer built in, meaning that all content is delivered through the lens of the Christian faith.
The preventative nature of the Food, Feelings and Faith resource addresses the need to educate young people about eating disorders, which so often begin in adolescence. Young people of this generation are facing unique pressures and are falling easy victim to what is becoming a hidden epidemic. Food, Feelings and Faith is an innovative way to enable all youth leaders tackle this so-often taboo topic with confidence, so that young people can be more mentally healthy and know that they are precious and loved by God.
The course…
…equips young people with a healthy knowledge around what eating disorders are.
…is a preventative resource that has been designed to work in any Christian context with young people between the ages of 11-18.
…teaches young people how to avoid getting an eating disorder and how to help those who are struggling.
…allows young people to explore their feelings and relationship with food in a healthy and safe way.
…enables youth leaders to begin breaking down the stigma surrounding eating disorders and dispelling the myths believed by many.
