Body image and mental health

Our research found that 30% of all adults have felt so stressed by body image and appearance that they felt overwhelmed or unable to cope. That’s almost 1 in every 3 people. 

Mind Over Mirror

Our 2021 campaign focusing on the impact that body image can have on mental health, Mind Over Mirror has been co-created with young people, parents and adults who experience body image concerns.
