Free to Learn Initiative
Through the Free to Learn initiative, ED and HHS are encouraging states, territories, school districts, Tribal nations, and public health agencies to pledge to partner to create and support schools and other learning environments that prevent, address, and ameliorate the effects of bullying, violence, and hate while also supporting school safety, school-based mental health, and positive school climate.

-
Access, use, or contribute to the Best Practices Clearinghouse free to learn resources and best practices.
