She is passionate about integrating preventive interventions within the wider community and has research interests include the early years, food communication and preventive interventions. Her PhD; Promoting positive food parenting practices for disordered eating prevention: Adopting a knowledge translation approach (completed in 2023), has resulted in an intervention designed for parents to reduce their child’s risk of developing disordered eating. Dr Norton is passionate about using evidenced based strategies and frameworks adopted from social marketing, co-design and knowledge translation science to assist families in the real world.

This session is designed for parents who want to better understand what’s considered typical, what may be a cause for concern, and how to respond early if changes in eating, exercise, or body image begin to worry you. Dr Norton will share insights into the early signs of disordered eating, how to foster a supportive food environment at home, and when to seek further support.
With over two decades of experience working with children and adolescents across hospital and community settings, Dr Norton brings a practical, compassionate perspective to supporting young people’s relationship with food, body image, and movement.
Come along with your questions, whether you’re simply wanting to learn more, or you’ve started noticing changes and aren’t sure what they mean.
