Help kids grow self-love, self-esteem, and confidence
1. Hand out Guide Books
If you work with young people one-on-one or in small groups, this guidebook gives you some productive questions you could ask and some topics you could bring up.
It is good for bullied and body shamed youth to fill this out, and it's good for you to know about so you be more in sync with them.
Feel free to print out a stack for can leave in a waiting room or in your office (permission for printing it out is provided below).

2. Post the Infographic
If you're an administrator or someone who doesn't work directly with body shamed youth, an easy way you can still show them there's hope is to post the infographic outside your office, on your bulletin board, or in the halls or bathrooms from time to time.
For youth group leaders, the infographic might also be appropriate for general discussions -- especially if the groups don't contain many people who suffer from bullying or from body shaming.
It points out the facts and points toward a solution. Anybody with additional interest can then be given a guide book.

4. Train Your Staff
If you're a manager or team leader who trains new employees during onboarding or in-service training, you can ask new employees to watch this video if they work with youth.
It could be something they either do on their own, or it could be done together as part of a group discussion.

5. Give a Punchy Presentation

6. Show this to Youth
If you work with groups of kids -- from youth groups to retreat groups to school groups -- this specific video might be of useful.
This is a introduction to The Three Looks program told from the perspecive of the 18-year-old who interviewed how 350 body shamed people recovered and who then made a program out of it.
Showing this video can be the basis for a group discussion.
If you deal more with individuals, perhaps you're a counselor or a psychologist, you can ask them to watch this before a therapy session or as a follow-up..
