BODY IMAGE & BODY POSITIVITY

Body image refers to how individuals perceive and feel about their physical appearance. Positive body image promotes self-acceptance and confidence, encouraging individuals to appreciate their bodies as they are. Body positivity, on the other hand, is a movement that advocates for the acceptance of all body types, challenging societal beauty standards, and promoting self-love. Embracing body positivity involves celebrating diversity and fostering a healthy relationship with one's body.

​

Program activities will focus on:

​

• Fostering a positive body image and untangling harmful messages

• Replacing harmful messages with empowering narratives for nurturing positive body image

• learning the impact of negative body talk on themselves and others

• Developing body positivity toward themselves

• Practicing what to do when hearing negative body talk

• Understanding sticky situations and ensuring personal safety

​

This approach helps individuals develop greater self-esteem, mental well-being, and a more inclusive perspective on beauty.
