Talks & Workshops for Schools, Universities & Healthcare Professionals
From eating disorders and body image to self-esteem and mental health, Carolina delivers engaging, age-appropriate talks and workshops tailored to the needs of each audience and setting.
Drawing on her own powerful experience of mental illness and eating disorders, Carolina shares her journey from struggle and survival to lasting freedom, offering a message of hope and showing that recovery really is possible. For younger audiences, sessions incorporate interactive exercises and activities to encourage participation, spark discussion and make learning both meaningful and engaging. For older students, Carolina also shares insights into navigating university life whilst living with mental illness, helping them understand the challenges that can arise and the importance of seeking support. Students will leave feeling better informed, empowered and more confident to talk openly about their mental health. They will gain practical tools to support their self esteem and develop healthy habits, alongside a greater understanding of eating disorders, how to recognise some of the early signs and how to offer meaningful support to others who may be struggling.
For medical students and future healthcare professionals, sessions provide a deeper understanding of eating disorders, including their varied presentations and the complexities of the illness. Students gain valuable insight into approaching sensitive conversations with compassion and confidence, whether supporting a patient with a known eating disorder or recognising when someone may be struggling.
