Episode 1
Sleepovers
Identity, pressure, expectations — and finding your own voice.
No single choice defines you.
Unstained is a miniseries written with and for system-impacted youth in small-town America. Real stories about relationships, risk, and owning the decisions that matter.
“UNSTAINED makes it easier to digest and think to yourself — I don’t want to deal with those consequences, so I’m going to stand up for myself.” — Youth participant
“I worked with a 16-year-old boy who had a lot of misconceptions about STI transmission and testing. He seemed surprised by the information he was learning, and at our next session, he told me he had scheduled an appointment for STI testing. He even talked with his girlfriend about it. Seeing him take that step was a powerful moment — it showed how much this kind of access to the right information can shift a young person’s decisions.” — Group facilitator
