🕊️On stage last night in London to support Dove’s new ‘Cost of Beauty’ campaign. They’ve produced a powerful, heartbreaking, film highlighting the rise in youth #mentalhealth issues linked to #socialmedia. Please watch here ⬇️, (and please share it and talk about it), but be warned it contains sensitive content including themes of eating disorders and self-harm. It’s made me cry every time I’ve seen it. 🎥 https://lnkd.in/efXRfVfq The #DoveSelfEsteemProject has been running since 2004 and has educated more than 94 million young people globally, helping to build body confidence and #selfesteem. Their new research found: 😔 Over 8 in 10 youth mental health specialists say social media is fuelling a mental health crisis among young people. 😔 More than half of kids say social media makes them and their peers feel anxious. 😔 9 in 10 youth mental health specialists say exposure to harmful beauty content on social media can lead to physical consequences, like disordered eating or self-harm. 😔 8 in 10 parents say the impact of social media on mental health is worrying. Together with partners Global Action Plan 5Rights Girlguiding Maudsley Charity and Parenting Mental Health, Dove is providing access to mental health resources for young people and campaigning to make social media platforms safer 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #kidsonlinesafety #parenting #techethics #onlinesafetybill
