For Parents
What is your position on gender identity?
Free to Be cares about the health and well-being of all youth. With the enormous complexities and impact of social media, our goal is to promote a strong sense of self-worth in youth, building confidence and supporting their emotional health.
Is Free to Be an abstinence organization?
Free to Be does not use the term or discuss abstinence.
Free to Be advocates making informed choices about sexual activity, substance use, and emotional health. Because teen culture and social media often promote unhealthy choices when it comes to sexual activity and substance use, we teach critical thinking and the repercussions of making uninformed decisions. We believe that youth who value themselves and feel connected to their community are more equipped to make healthy, long-term decisions.
