#BeFree has been a significant game changer in co-creating an inclusive and non-judgmental platform that encourages honest and robust dialogue and information sharing on matters which prevent young people from reaching their full potential.

#BeFree seeks to build resilience of young people through:

Amplifying the voices of young people

Fostering critical dialogue

Informing policy responses and playing a key role in engaging national conversations

Acting between those with trauma and those responsible to providing frontline trauma services

"#BeFree has taught me that my voice is valuable and has given me more confidence in my personal truths, the confidence to step up and step out from my own shadowing insecurities became more of a voice of other youths. I started believing in myself that I can do great things. I aim to achieve my goals no matter what challenges I may experience."
