The Camogie Association are delighted to announce our upcoming Welfare Webinar Series. We will be hosting 3 webinars covering the topics of Relationships with Food, Body Image and Emotional Well-being.

This webinar will look at eating behaviours; how a negative relationship with food, exercise and body image can impact our young people; what we can do to promote a positive relationship and what supports are available.

In this webinar we will learn about what body image is, why people can suffer from poor body image, what we can say and do to help and what not to do and say
- Tuesday June 13th at 7.30pm –‘Supporting the Emotional Well-being of our Young People’
In this webinar we will learn about how we can support our young people’s emotional well-being, and how we can communicate compassionately with them.
The webinars will be delivered by Deirdre Reddan. Deirdre works with individuals who have developed a problematic relationship with food, helping them to transform both their relationship with food and themselves, through positive behavioural change. She also works with parents and family members and with sporting organisations, large organisations, healthcare professionals, educating and raising awareness.
