Support for Schools
Safeguarding trained (level 4). DBS available and on the update service.
Full day:
An experienced teacher and expert in the eating disorder field, Jen will present to your chosen year group/s before running smaller workshops with students of up to 10 per session. This number allows for students to be able to be more vulnerable and take some bespoke tools away from each session.
The full day also provides an opportunity for up to 3 1:1 sessions and parental meetings.
With a focus on Disordered Eating, the programme is thoughtfully designed to raise awareness, promote understanding, and encourage early support among students.
Follow up lesson resources are provided to continue work in PSHE or mentoring sessions.
Jen will provide notes and/or safeguarding concerns to the school DSL for their records.
As part of the full day package, after the school day, Jen can train a select number of staff in how they can spot signs and support students with disordered eating.
Half day:
Jen will present assemblies and workshops in the time allowed, focusing more on the broader topic of disordered eating, signs to spot and strategies to support.
Follow up lesson resources are provided to continue work in PSHE or mentoring sessions.

Monthly full day:
The monthly day of support has become a popular option, offering the opportunity for a select number of students to receive 1:1 support. Students suffering from an eating disorder often have poor attendance in school, supporting them in the school building, in real time is so important to students remaining connected to their school environment.
Jen will also book to meet with family members, support systems during the day.

Up to 4 students receiving regular 1:1 support in school. Communication with parents included.

Spending one day a month supporting students from the age of 6, up to 18. We are so grateful for the calm and positivity that Jen brings.
Students look forward to meeting with Jen and parents have even started asking to learn what their children are doing at school.
I couldn’t recommend using Veritas recovery to support students with any issues around food and body image.

Jennifer came to do a workshop and the students haven’t stopped talking about it! To be introduced to ways of thinking about their bodies that meant freedom and peace has begun a journey for many students and even staff. We look forward to seeing you next year!

The topic of diet culture and body image was too big for us to make a dent in during PSHE lessons. Jen’s full day with students has begun a shift in our culture and a real feeling that there is a different way to approach relationship with self.
