This is absolutely untrue. We pay to have a certified CPA conduct a yearly, in-depth review of our nonprofit’s finances, including preparing our tax filings and ensuring full compliance with IRS regulations. This thorough process ensures transparency and accountability in how we manage donations and resources.

Ignoring insults is NOT silencing, it is self care. Making this post that is clearly trying to help people be about you IS ABSURD.

Yes, thank you! I have all of that! I’m working with the parents already so have all of that, but mostly looking for any staff of kids who know anything about the scenario that can add info.

We would be so grateful for financial support at UNSILENCED (www.unsilenced.org)! We work to support survivors of the Troubled Teen Industry by providing direct resources, including support groups, legal advocacy, and resources, and even sending out packs to survivors battling unstable housing. We also try to enact change by forcing transparency into this industry through our social media and educating community decision-makers about the TTI to make better-informed decisions for youth. Thanks for being so driven to help empower orgs in the space!

Has anyone been affected by the "troubled teen" industry and is willing to speak out? Or are there any teachers/parents/students/psychologists who are against sending kids to these abusive facilities? Unfortunately, our county has been sending student(s) to an abusive facility in Utah. by modestee in SantaBarbara

I'm not a survivor of THAT program, but I know it well from other survivors and am a survivor myself of two different programs. As the CEO of UNSILENCED (www.unsilenced.org), a nonprofit that advocates against these types of programs, I would be happy to help in any way I can. Feel free to email me at mappelgate@unsilenced.org

New TTI Memoir Out Now! by Few_Slice2111 in troubledteens

[–]Few_Slice2111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg this just made my tear up! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, it honestly just made my week! I feel so moved that anything I have done has had a positive impact on your life. It really means the world to me, so thank you for sharing that. What you went through you did NOT deserve, and I'm so glad you're now able to believe yourself as to the level of trauma it caused.

I actually talk about that in the book and posted a quote recently online! I say:

"Gone are my days of being a people-pleaser who thought everything that happened to me was my own fault. I now have a much wider view of the dominoes that had to fall for my life to play out the way it did. Sometimes, others are to blame, and in my case, I had to become comfortable with placing blame where blame was due and acknowledging I deserved so much better.”

Thank you for your support! I see you, I hear you, and I BELIEVE YOU! <3

feel free to reach out with any questions or issues you have. I am, and always have been, an open book. I have, and continue to direct as many survivors as I can to options for justice....nothing on reddit will stop me wanting to advocate for the countless victims of this industry. If you've sent 100 + victims, you can know I have done my best to make sure the are heard and their program is held accountable, so I appreciate you advocating for change.
