Love Your Body Week for Families
September 2020
Creating a positive and healthy body image environment in ALL homes for ALL bodies!
What is Love Your Body Week for Families?
Love Your Body Week for Families is new for 2020 and invites Australian households to participate in a range of activities that help to foster and promote a healthy body image.
Whatever your home set up, Love Your Body Week for Families encourages body acceptance, respect and appreciation of ALL bodies.
It is a FREE initiative that builds on Butterfly’s Love Your Body Week for Schools, Australia’s largest body positive movement for young people which runs every September.
Why participate?
A home environment that supports body confidence and healthy behaviours is a positive space for EVERYONE! The messages, attitudes and behaviours that surround people daily play a significant role in how a person thinks, feels and behaves when it comes to their body and appearance.
With Australians spending more time in their homes, now is a great opportunity to talk, challenge, explore and strengthen these attitudes and behaviours in a positive way.

It can be hard, we understand!
We understand that the way a person feels about their body is influenced and impacted by many things and that healing from a difficult relationship with our bodies can take time and also professional support.
To ‘Love Your Body’ can be a difficult thing and some may find it easier than others.
Love Your Body Week for Families aims to support behaviours and attitudes that demonstrate body respect and appreciation. Loving a body in the way we treat and speak to it, is what matters most!
