This September support young people’s body image by joining Butterfly’s annual free awareness initiative, Body Kind Clubs.
Finding ways to like, accept, love or even feel positive about your body can be challenging but we can all try to be a little kinder.
About Body Kind Clubs
Body Kind Clubs is one part of Butterfly’s Body Kind annual awareness initiative aimed at creating body positive environments (home, school, sports, online) for young Australians. Every September, it invites sporting and activity clubs working with young people to promote positive body image and find ways to be kind to their own body and to others.
What does it mean to be Body Kind?
Who can take part?
Any sporting or activity club can get involved. Choose to do a little or a lot. There are activity ideas for use with young people aged 10 years and older. Some of the general awareness activities can also be used with younger children.
Registrations must be by an adult.
Why participate?
It’s fun, flexible and FREE! You choose which activities you do from the free resources provided and decide when you do it, ideally in September; whatever works for you.
