As clinicians, it is likely that we will be working with clients who are experiencing
lowered self-esteem. Low self-esteem and negative self-talk can lead to eating and
food issues, depression, social anxiety, codependency, and even self-harm. Below
are some tips for helping clients who want to feel more confident and self-reliant:
SCHOOL COUNSEL ING SPOTL IGHT BY L INDA SWIFT
SchoolCounseling Spotlight
Collaborate with school nurse or outside professional to educate staff on the signs
of disordered eating and the severe health consequences.
Ensure there is a way for teachers, school staff, or administrators to submit a
concern about a student who may be struggling with disordered eating.
Advocate for the removal of weighing, use of BMI, or other body measures in
physical education classes.
Audit the images posted and used in your school. Are there a variety of body
shapes and sizes.
Connect with the student’s outside care team (with parental consent), this could
include: doctors, therapists, nutritionists, or parents.
School counselors play an important role in educating staff and supportingstudents with disordered eating habits. Be an advocate at your school for bodypositivity & self-esteem!
