Wellness Matters Webinar — Seeds to Growing Self Esteem

Did you know that close to half of the population struggles with low self-esteem for the majority of their life? This is unfortunate considering self-esteem is a basic domain of our everyday functioning that impacts the way we interact with others, our mental health, and our overall well-being. Research has even shown that low self-esteem is the source of many negative life outcomes such as unemployment, earning less than peers, sexual dysfunction, substance abuse, eating disorders, suicide and suicidal ideation, and dysfunctional behaviours in relationships. As such, having a better understanding of one's self-esteem and acquiring the tools to enhance it, is fundamental in achieving a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life.

In this talk you will learn:

• how self-esteem develops

• the common trajectory of your self-esteem over the course of your life

• what factors of life impact your self-esteem

• how to maintain and boost your self-esteem throughout your life

• how to support your loved ones with their self-esteem
