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're here, chances are you've heard the whispers about the Troubled Teen Industry. Or perhaps you know its reality because you've lived it.
The stories are not rumors. They are evidence of a multi-billion-dollar industry built on exploitation, fueled by profit, and shielded by a troubling lack of oversight. Vulnerable families are promised hope through unproven treatments, while countless young people are subjected to practices that can leave lifelong physical, emotional, and psychological scars.
This is not an isolated problem. For generations, millions of children have passed through this system, and the harm has been documented by survivors, journalists, researchers, and government investigations.
Change is long overdue. The time for accountability is now.
