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.
