We were pleased to host 2023 Australian of the Year, Taryn Brumfitt, founder of the Body Image Movement and Co-Executive Director of The Embrace Collective at the Residence. The event brought together Australian and Nordic experts, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss body image and mental health among children and young people, with a focus on social media.

The Embrace Collective, led by Taryn and Dr Zali Yager, is an Australian health promotion organisation working internationally to improve young people’s wellbeing, particularly in body image and prevention. The discussion created space to exchange perspectives on Australia’s decision to delay young people’s access to social media and Denmark’s plans for similar legislation. It also highlighted shared priorities and opportunities for cross-country collaboration.
