"For me, the Free2b Approach Training made the thought of engaging with teenage girls a lot less daunting....rather than focussing on all of the ‘troubles ‘ of our youth, the training took us to a place where it was focused on the girls themselves, the roles they naturally play, or find in an environment where there is no expectation from them other than kindness and respect for people and place.
