Mental Health Foundation CEO, Mark Rowland, unpacks the big theme for Mental Health Awareness Week (13-19 May 2019) and how the way we view our bodies impacts our mental health...
This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week theme, Body Image has a direct relevance to everyone reading this blog. All of us live with our bodies as they evolve and change. Just as all of us have a role in shaping an inclusive culture where we help others feel comfortable in their own skin.
Why does body image matter?
We are all intimately aware of the particular idiosyncrasies of our own body; its strengths and wonders and its limitations. No piece of technology that you will ever buy will match the complexity, sophistication and regenerative powers of your body.
