Body Acceptance Week

Join us for Body Acceptance Week and focus on accepting and appreciating the body you were born with from October 21st to October 25th.

Three Types of Body Acceptance

Check out these definitions provided by NEDA.

Body Positivity

I love my body

Encourages unconditional body love, no matter what it looks like.

Body Neutrality

I do not love or hate my body

Prioritizes the body's function and achievements rather than its appearance and views the body through a neutral lens without judgment or forced positivity.

Body Liberation

I am more than my body

Promotes inclusivity, body autonomy, fat acceptance, and size diversity and separates a person's self-worth from their body or appearance.
