Breaking The Chains Foundation (BTCF) Announces How To Love YourSelfie LIVE: March 25th 2023

LOS ANGELES - Feb. 10, 2023 - PRLog -- Research repeatedly confirms an "association between problematic social media use and negative mental health among adolescents and young adults." - JMIR Mental Health (Shannon et al., 2022). How To Love Yourselfie LIVE is inspired by BTCF's online evidence-based media literacy program How to Love YourSelfie (HTLYS) founded by actress Jillian Rose Reed (MTV's Awkward), and co-created by BTCF Clinical Team.

How To Love YourSelfie goals focus on challenging the idea that there is an ideal body, increasing media literacy by bringing awareness of the negative impact of higher engagement and photo manipulation, identifying how social media habits impact body image, reducing perfectionism (a risk factor for developing an eating disorder) by increasing self-compassion, optimism, and building resilience by increasing body appreciation and maintaining good relationships.
