Welcome to the official Freedom 180 Website!
Freedom 180, the Abstinence Education Project of the Bay County Health Department, was established in 2001. It is currently funded by the Florida Department of Health, Division of Family Health Services, Bureau of Family and Community Health Abstinence Education Program grant. Our program promotes healthy lifestyle choices for youth. We encourage positive youth development through STD and pregnancy prevention, goal setting, healthy relationships and abstinence from sex, drugs, and alcohol. The project assists the Florida Department of Health in its effort to reduce teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases in youth.
