Hello! If you're here because we followed you, thank you! We're researchers from @latrobe @victoriauninews and @Northeastern who are running a program to improve body image and social media literacy in young Australians. Please follow back if you want to keep up to date!

As part of @vicchamber ignite+vu event on mental health, VU's Dr Sian McLean encourages business to reconsider their social media footprint. "Do your posts only present your best self? Are they diverse? Maybe it's time to get real on social media." @VicUniVC #igniteinnovation

[Prof Rob Aughey @robaughey]

Frightening interconnectedness of body image related topics on social media. @Reel2R @victoriauninews will play a big role empowering better mental health #igniteinnovation

Dispelling the myths about body dissatisfaction, @victoriauninews Research Fellow Dr Sian Mclean reveals toxic truths about the fitness industry and the hashtags that perpetuate body dissatisfaction. We recommend you use this one instead: #igniteinnovation

ICYMI: New research indicates that brief exposure to positive #BodyImage social media content (e.g., size diverse images, body acceptance quotes) may have a positive impact on women's body image and mood 😊✨❤️

[Reel2Real @Reel2R]

We asked students at @victoriauninews #oweek what they want to see more of on social media. Here are their responses!
