Objective

To equip, educate and empower teens, on issues related to body image, self esteem and associated subject matters, while emphasizing the importance of self acceptance and respect for others.

Overview

Body image is:

What you believe and feel about your body and physical appearance. Body image is influenced by friends, family members, cultural standards and commercial advertising.

Body image is independent of body size and shape. It is also independent of your actual physical appearance. Any person of any physical description can have either a positive or negative body image.

Body image is often closely linked to self-esteem.

Self-esteem is:

How much you value and accept yourself, how worthwhile you feel and the extent to which you feel loved and accepted by others.

Promoting a positive body images in children can improve their self esteem and overall happiness.
