"Last year we carried out a consultation with young people in Sutton to find out their top health and social care priority. We ran a short online survey and also met with local voluntary and community groups including; Jigsaw4U, Sutton Mental Health Foundation and the Youth Parliament," said a spokesperson for Sutton Healthwatch.
"When looking through the results from the survey and the discussions we had with young people, we found that Mental Health was highlighted as the biggest issue with body image coming out as their top concern. Body image was closely followed by stress, bullying and diet. We plan to work with a media group run by young people, based at Sutton Life Centre. They will produce a short film about body image.
"The film will show young people speaking openly about their views on body image. They will also be asked about how the issues can be tackled locally. We plan to showcase the film at our AGM in July2015. "
