The industry’s history is marked by abuse and corruption. Silence has allowed harm to persist across generations. Lived-experience testimony, reinforced by data, drives legislative change capable of breaking this cycle and protecting future youth.
If you are here, you have likely heard the whispers about the Troubled Teen Industry, or you have lived through its consequences firsthand.
What you suspect is true. This multi-billion-dollar system is built on exploitation, empty promises, and a severe lack of oversight. Driven by profit, it targets vulnerable families with unproven treatments and subjects young people to practices that often cause lasting harm.
Across multiple generations, millions of children have been impacted by this industry. The damage is real, documented, and ongoing.
Change is long overdue.
