This is your center for all things MEDIA.
While sometimes harmful, the media, including the fashion and beauty industry can also be a helpful agent of change and influence. This is Kirsten’s philosophy, as well as the viewpoint of many individuals in these industries whom Kirsten has befriended and works with. There are an increasing number of people in entertainment and beauty that recognize some of the harmful, unrealistic standards of perfection upheld by society who, are working to change that in their respective areas. On this page you will find all the latest information on this shift and key players that are inspired and involved.
Here you can keep updated on the latest news about Kirsten, the Kirsten Haglund Foundation, eating disorders, and the 'body-positive' media movement. Also, keep an eye out for events where Kirsten will be appearing/speaking, or opportunities for you to get out and get active in the eating disorders community.
