Why Butterfly Body Bright matters

Our Goal

To help every primary school child feel confident in who they are and the body they have, so they can thrive at school, at home, and in life.

Imagine an Australia where every child feels good in their body—ready to learn, join in, and be themselves.

The Challenge

Body dissatisfaction can start young. Around 50% of pre-adolescent girls—and an increasing number of boys—feel unhappy with their bodies.

Body dissatisfaction can impact:

  • Mental and physical health

  • Friendships and learning

  • Self-worth and confidence

  • Risk of disordered eating and eating disorders.

What we do…

Empower Australian children to be:

What you can do…

  • "Thank you for designing and releasing this program. As someone who has recovered from an eating disorder, I'm so thankful that today's young people have the opportunity to develop and work on positive body image and resilience."

    Georgia, Student Wellbeing, VIC

  • "To know that young Australians can develop self/body confidence, know how and where to seek help and awareness of their thoughts at a young age makes me feel so hopeful and glad that these topics are being addressed. Thank you so much for providing this to young Australians!"

    Kim, 25, NSW

  • "It has helped us be more confident in our own bodies and not want to change them. We are accepting of all bodies."

    Grade 4 student, VIC

  • "My daughter is in prep, and was telling me all about some special lessons preps have been having about bodies, being happy and helping others be happy. She was - genuinely - super stoked with it. It turned out to be Butterfly's Body Bright program. It is genuinely brilliant - so smart, and has made a real impact."

    Luke, Parent, VIC
