BodyKind Sports
Participating in sports can be great for a young person’s physical and mental health.
But sometimes being on a team, or in a sport where there is a strong focus on performance, appearance, training, diet and weight requirements can lead to body dissatisfaction, disordered eating or even an eating disorder.
Butterfly provides education, resources and programs to encourage sports to take a strength-based approach and apply a BodyKind lens to supporting adolescent athletes.
