Presented by Dr. Joanna Bronfman, LCSW, Psy.D from Backcountry Wellness
Dr. Joanna Bronfman’s presentation, “Eating Disorders in a Selfie World,” addresses the impact of today’s image-centric culture on the prevalence of eating disorders in adolescents and young adults. As a thought leader in eating disorder treatment, Dr. Bronfman explores how societal pressures and the pervasive influence of social media contribute to body image issues and disordered eating behaviors. Her presentation will:
- Explore how social media platforms like Instagram and Snapchat contribute to body image issues through filters, editing tools, and curated content.
- Discuss the link between exposure to idealized online images and the internalization of unattainable beauty ideals, leading to self-objectification and disordered eating.
- Promote healthier self-image practices by encouraging critical engagement with social media and resilience against its negative influences.
