Summary

A new generation of parents is seeing the damage social media can cause to their teen’s body image. However, when navigated the right way, it can also be a source of body empowerment. Samantha DeCaro, PsyD, Director of Clinical Outreach and Education at The Renfrew Center, joined us to discuss how social media impacts teens’ body image. She shares insights on spotting red flags for disordered eating, encouraging body confidence, and creating a more balanced digital environment at home. As Renfrew’s national spokesperson, Dr. DeCaro has been featured as an eating disorder expert on television, radio, podcasts, and in magazines. She is a frequent lecturer, serves as the Alumni Representative for The Renfrew Center of Philadelphia, and co-hosts the podcast All Bodies. All Foods.For more on the Renfrew Center, check out @renfrewcenter.
