Being Me: Promoting Positive Body Image


The Being Me: Promoting Positive Body Image module has been developed to support existing physical activity and healthy eating frameworks and to complement Action Schools! BC’s Classroom Healthy Eating Action Resource (CHEAR) while supporting the Ministry of Education’s prescribed learning outcomes across the curriculum. Body image is a topic that links directly to healthy eating, as key messaging can have a tremendous impact on students’ body image and self-esteem. Each of the Being Me lessons has been designed to be implemented in approximately 20 minutes. Learning outcomes, implementation ideas and resources have been provided – everything you need to get started.
