Free Spirit is the leading publisher of learning tools that support young people's social and emotional health. Everyday life presents many challenges for kids, from home to school to the wider world. No matter how many choices and changes young people face, our mission for 30 years remains the same: to help children and teens think for themselves, succeed in life, and make a difference in the world.An imprint of Teacher Created Materials, Free Spirit Publishing is known for its unique understanding of what kids want (and need) to know to navigate life successfully. Our reputation as the groundbreaking publisher of SELF-HELP FOR KIDS® and SELF-HELP FOR TEENS® is rooted in books and other learning materials that are practical, positive, pro-kid, and solution focused. We're not afraid to tackle tough topics such as teen depression, kids and anxiety, grief and loss, juvenile justice, and conflict resolution. Free Spirit also offers sound advice with a sense of humor on relevant issues including stress management, character building, puberty, school success, self-esteem, and more. We aim to meet all kids—toddlers, teens, and in-betweens—where they are (not where we wish they were), and support them to develop their talents, build resiliency, and foster a positive outlook on life so they can reach their goals.
