Body Kind Youth Survey 2023- Student voice can make a difference

Butterfly Foundation is inviting all young people aged 12 - 18 to share their views about body image and their ideas on what needs to change to create a more Body Kind Australia. The annual Body Kind Youth survey is voluntary, anonymous, online, and ethics approved. It takes around 15 minutes to complete and requires parental consent for under 15's. Help Butterfly help more young people to be kinder to their body and encourage your child to take part.  They can enter the draw to win a gift voucher when they participate.
