Freedom Starts Here!

In order for young people held in confinement to overcome personal struggles and reach the healed version of themselves, they need exposure to new ways of thinking and being, a positive path to commit to, and support in reaching their goals.

Week 3: Self-Sabotage

Week 3 helps youth take their power back by transforming negative self-talk into positive affirmations.

Week 4: Self-Doubt

Week 4 helps youth repair relationships through forgiving, apologizing, and expressing gratitude to themselves and others.

Week 5: Self-Esteem

Week 6: Self-Discipline
