Words From Our Partners
Sarah Wilson, Director Children and Specialist Services (ELFT) and Chair of the project board said: “In a digital world where negative and harmful views of body image can be difficult to avoid, Be Body Positive aims to carve out a nourishing and safe space. We hope young people will come to the site and learn how to feel at ease in their bodies.”
Jon Daly, Strategic Programme Lead for Mental Health at Barnardo’s is offering third sector expertise to the project: “We believe that with the right support, young people can transform their lives. We are thrilled to be working with these partners on a project that will offer practical and emotional support to young people with disordered eating.”
Ian Parkes, CEO of East London Business Alliance said: “There has been a big increase in the reports of young people struggling with wellbeing and mental health. The earlier we can get reassurance and support to them, the better the outcome. Young people are digital natives, and this new initiative will get support to them in a familiar format. Where young people or their families are digitally excluded – we will try to address that as well”
The NHSX Digital Health Partnerships Award funds this project.
