    Aim

    To enable participants to support girls and young women, particularly those with low self-confidence and poor self esteem to be more physically active.

    Outcomes

    On completion of this course, participants will have:

    • Explored what is meant by “self esteem” and identified some of the factors which impact upon it;
    • Identified and recognised the links between low mood, low self esteem and physical activity in girls and young women;
    • Identified ways in which they may be able to support teenage girls to be more active by addressing barriers;
    • Recognised their own role in supporting behaviour change in their contact with girls and young women; and
    • Shared ideas and identified strategies for supporting increased and sustained levels of physical activity.

    This course is for anyone in a position to provide direct support to girls and young women who are inactive to become more active for their health and wellbeing. For example, education staff, support workers, youth workers, community healthcare staff, social care workers and volunteers.
