The Confident Me school resources are designed to help every student in your school develop positive body confidence. Both the single session and five session teacher resources have been created in partnership with experts from the Dove Self-Esteem Project and have been proven to increase self-esteem in young people.
Your school may already be doing activities that encourage body confidence, or it may be an issue that hasn’t been tackled before. Either way Confident Me is designed to help your school on its journey to building body confidence. By taking some action, no matter how small, you can help improve attitudes in your school.
To provide additional support, we have created six training videos to help teachers deliver this content in the classroom.
This video provides an overview of body confidence, giving you the background needed to deliver a Confident Me self-esteem workshop at your school. We’ll show you the impact that low body confidence can have on young people, introduce body image myths and also give you an overview of the Dove Self-Esteem Project and its approach to increasing self-esteem amongst young people.
