About our work

About our work

Through our suite of age-appropriate programs and resources, we can get in early to teach the message of body appreciation to young people and embed these positive messages in all the places where they live, learn and play to minimise their lifetime risk of eating disorders, depression and anxiety. Our goal is to reach one million Australian children annually with the Embrace message and evidence-based resources to stop the body image crisis. Find out more at The Embrace Hub.
