Outreach and Prevention

Being "WeFree" means not depending on things outside of yourself. Sure, that means drugs, but other stuff too. It's about looking in the mirror or standing on the bathroom scale and feeling good about yourself. It means feeling free to be you, and not worrying too much about what others think of you. Being "WeFree" means making a choice, the right choice for you. It means thinking for yourself, even when it means going against the grain.
