Drawing on research from ‪‪@beewelluk.bsky.social,‬ we compared mental wellbeing scores between Free2B participants and a matched group. ‬We found Free2B participants experienced a far greater improvement in wellbeing over time. 6/7 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
A bar chart titled 'Average SWEMWBS wellbeing score for Free2B participants and comparison group'. The chart compares average SWEMWBS wellbeing scores for Free2B participants and a matched comparison group at baseline and follow-up. At baseline, scores were similar: 18.22 for Free2B and 18.24 for the comparison group. At follow-up, Free2B participants’ scores increased to 22.65, while the comparison group rose slightly to 18.95, showing a larger improvement among Free2B participants.

I *loved* Reese's peanut butter cups, but my son has a nut allergy. My wife got some of the sunflower butter ones and they are really good! Enough so that it wasn't sad and depressing to eat them.

🏳️‍🌈 We know LGBTQIA+ youth urgently need effective mental health support. Our study provides an independent evidence that "Free2B," a 1:1 mentoring service, significantly improves their mental wellbeing. A very promising intervention! doi.org/10.1002/jad....

Confidence, connection and hope - how one mentoring programme is making a real difference 🌈

New research shows how a pioneering programme for LGBTQIA+ young people, delivered by Free2B, is giving young people a space where they can be themselves without fear.

I just completed rereading the trilogy. Thanks for writing them!

Added my likes to previous comments. Yass crows!

I was struck this reading by how residents in the hyperlocal centenals seemed to be happier than the those in centenals governed by larger parties—even Policy1st and (less so) Free2B.

The aim of the fund was for youth organisations to build confidence and independence in LGBT+ young people and to support their needs and wishes as they grow into adulthood.

Sadly, @free2b, I know. It was more of a rhetorical question asked out of frustration and grief.

National surveys often underrepresent LGBTQ+ young people, and standard datasets rarely reflect the full diversity of gender and sexual identities. Our new report with Free2B addresses part of that gap, evaluating the Free2Talk mentoring programme.

A screenshot of an exchange with an obtuse problematic Baby Boomer (Donna C @free2b on Bluesky) who said: "This may be an incredibly unpopular opinion, but I'm always surprised when adult children of any generation expect their parents to fork over dough. This boomer wouldn't have dreamed my elders would give me money. I watched them pinch pennies all my life. I wouldn't dream of taking their $"

Free2Talk, from Free2B is a 1-2-1 mentoring programme designed for LGBTQ+ youth who often fall through the gaps in mainstream services. It provides a safe space, trusted adults & tools to help young South Londoners explore identity, cope with bullying & navigate family rejection. 3/7

My nutritionist challenged me to try 100 new foods this year. I’ll be trying food 100 (free2b mini sun cups) tomorrow surrounded by friends on NYE!

Comment and lmk what I should try next year!

(Should I aim for another 100 new foods?)

Try free2b brand cups. Made in New York, if you are worried about that sort of thing and I have found I like them better, but we need to get more places to carry them. I found that the mint ones taste like a peppermint patty and they don't have a shared facility, or equipment.
