Newsletter week 3, 19th October 2026
Hello and welcome to week 3!
This week in wellbeing we are focusing on body image. Have you ever heard of The Embrace Collective? They are an Australian non-for-profit organisation that’s goal is to “create a world free from judgement and shame about our bodies”, this is for children, teens and adults.
You can access their resources online and start talking with your family about how we can be healthy and think healthy, encourage others on their journey and foster healthy conversation about our bodies with friends and family. We can help our children to have healthy language about their bodies and encourage peers in the way they speak to each other too. It’s an important, life long conversation that we need to start early with our kids. Check it out!

Butterfly Body Bright are another Australian non-for-profit organisation that you can check out when it comes to body image. They explain:
“Body image develops early in life.
Families play a vital role in helping children form an accepting and positive relationship with their body, and establishing healthy attitudes and behaviour about eating and physical activity - that they can take with them through life”.
They have a resources page where you can find information and tips on how to have positive conversations with your family. It’s a great resource, check it out.
