Under My Skin - Body Image Play

Welcome to 'Under My Skin,' Body Image Theatre education opportunity. We know body image has a real and significant impact on many of our students. Its impact is far reaching and includes related issues such as self-esteem, healthy living, active lifestyles, resiliency and peer relations.

'Under My Skin' is a powerful drama targeting grade seven students that addresses many of these issues with true impact. The Foundation for Red Deer Public Schools, Body Image Theatre Education and through tremendous support from the Primary Care Network - Red Deer, we are excited to share this live action theatre production through video. 

Themes:

Based on focus group discussions with students, and guided by teachers and a resource panel of professionals in this field, the presentation focuses on the themes of:

• Self-confidence and self talk
• Healthy eating and physical activity
• Peer and media influences
• Stress, anxiety and depression and how to deal with them

Learning Package:

In addition to this video, we have created a learning package (see links - right screen) for you to engage with your students following the video. 

COVID-19 challenged us in many ways and it was important to find a new way to share these important messages with our students. This project could not have been completed without the support from the Primary Care Network - Red Deer and Alberta Health Services. We are grateful for their ongoing support. Thank you!
