Why It Matters:
Creative expression has been proven to reduce stress, improve self-esteem, and promote mental well-being. Free to Be provides a structured, therapeutic approach to help youth thrive emotionally and artistically. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
