What is Pure Freedom?
Lifeline’s Pure Freedom program is a relationship, sexual abuse prevention, and sexual risk avoidance education program. The program takes the form of a three-day workshop offered to 5th through 12th grade. Pure Freedom utilizes this model to help students understand what real love is, how to set healthy boundaries in relationships both physically and digitally, how to identify abuse, how the human body works, how STDs spread, focusing on future goals and dreams, and ultimately how valuable they are.
The program model also focuses on relationship skill building. Students learn information on subjects such as how to distinguish healthy relationships from toxic ones, understand consent, and recognize self-worth. Our certified educators believe youth are capable of making healthy decisions when given the information to do so, such as delaying sexual initiation and treating others with respect.
Pure Freedom uses the evidence-based Real Essentials curriculum from the Center for Relationship Education. It was built on five theoretical frameworks, national health education standards, and research on healthy relationships. This curriculum is activity-based, meaning that students are actively engaged in learning activities that make the experience both fun and memorable. Each educator is certified in the curriculum model.
