Being BodyKind Online

Online environments include an abundance of unregulated appearance-based content and misinformation which can significantly influence a young person’s body image.

This session supports digital literacy skills so young people can have a safer and more positive experience online when it comes to their body image – one that is BodyKind.  Quizess, discussions, reflections, videos and personal insights from Butterfly presenters bring to life the sensitive and complex topics and themes.

*Content respects the social media legislation while recognising the critical role that digital literacy education plays in supporting young people’s attitudes, behaviours and safety, online.
