Dove Self-Esteem Project UK

As the biggest provider of self-esteem education in the world, Dove believes that no young person should be held back from reaching their full potential. But 9 out of every 10 girls with low body esteem in the UK put their health at risk by not seeing a doctor or skipping meals.

Help us combat this by building positive body confidence and self-esteem through the Dove Self-Esteem Project. Running globally since 2014, the Dove-Self Esteem Project has been written by education experts and is based on research from the Centre For Appearance Research. The resources are easy-to-use by teachers or parents both in school and at home. They are proven to have a positive impact on young people’s self-esteem.
