Self-esteem resources for youth groups

Body confidence helps young people pursue their goals. Use our confidence tips, activities and discussion topics to help get young people talking about body image.

It's a huge problem – 80% of girls are so concerned about their looks that they're holding back from important life activities. They might be reluctant to try out for a team, fear giving their opinion, and 70% even feel too embarrassed to go to the doctor, so are putting their health at risk.

We know that, as a youth leader, you probably see young people with self-esteem issues. We also know you’re likely to be looking for ways to prevent low body confidence affecting the future of the young people you work with.

The Dove Self-Esteem Project offers world-class education resources, many proven to raise body confidence and self-esteem in young people. Just follow the links below to download our materials for youth leaders.
