the body happy organisation
London
The Body Happy Organisation is a social enterprise dedicated to promoting
positive body image in children and young people. Through student workshops in
schools, staff training CPD workshops, learning resources and peer support, we
help schools - and all organisations that work with children and young people -
create environments that nurture the body esteem of the kids in their care.
We're the only body image education organisation in the UK made up of a
multi-disciplinary team of professionals, including educators, doctors,
counsellors, nutritionists, dietitians, media professionals, health
psychologists, body image researchers and weight inclusive fitness trainers. We
have a rigorous impact measurement process and a high level of in-house
accountability with a Board of Directors that includes a GP, a teacher, a
project manager and our founder - author, campaigner and journalist Molly
Forbes.
Our focus is on prevention and culture change, and we are currently working with
The University of Lincoln to delve into the science behind our approach and
framework.
Our framework consists of:
* CPD staff training workshops
* Student Sessions workshops for children and young people
* Learning resources
* Peer support
* Books and bespoke designed physical resources, including our signature
affirmation activity card deck, stickers and posters
We also have an Online Masterclass for parents, and run quarterly interactive
webinars for parents and caregivers.
We can run in-person workshops in most parts of the UK. All of our facilitators
are trained to deliver our programme and are highly experienced in running
training and workshops with both staff and children and young people, and have
specialist professional expertise and qualifications in body image / body image
adjacent disciplines.
We have worked with many schools - in both the UK, Europe, US and Middle East.
We have also worked with councils, eating disorder services, charities and
sports organisations.

looking forward to helping YOU to help the kids in your care be friends with
their bodies!
