EMBRACE KIDS TEACHER MASTERCLASS
The Embrace Kids Teacher Masterclass is here! This 20-minute video gives teachers practical advice and actionable strategies about what to do and say to your students in relation to bodies, food and weight. And it’s not just for PDHPE teachers or wellbeing coordinators either – this is an issue that goes across all KLAs, as bullying and body shaming comments can happen in any classroom.
The Embrace Kids Teacher Masterclass provides in-depth insights into understanding body image issues among students of all ages and offers practical strategies to support their wellbeing. By watching, you’ll gain:
- Expert knowledge: Hear from our co-Executive Director Dr Zali Yager, an internationally-recognised expert in the body image space who is known for figuring out ‘what works’ to help people feel better about their bodies
- Actionable strategies: Practical tips you can apply in your classroom straight away – no extra training required!
- Real stories: Here from young people and teachers about how school activities impacted their own body image, and why it’s so important to help the next generation learn to appreciate and be kind to their bodies

As a primary school teacher, it can often be a delicate and daunting task to talk about body image with students. The Embrace Kids film provides teachers and schools with a wonderful platform to foster conversations in a safe and respectful environment. The real role models and kids who feature in the film are nothing short of inspiring; empowering kids to embrace their bodies, celebrate differences and find their uniqueness.
