Utilizing our extensive networks of survivors and allies, Project SPEAK will enter communities, both physically and virtually, to educate school and judicial systems, child placing agencies, healthcare professionals, and insurance companies on the Troubled Teen Industry.
Project SPEAK will arm decision makers with the knowledge they need to promote equitable health, education, and treatment of youth in their communities. If we can prevent unnecessary institutionalization, then we can better protect the civil, social, and human rights of youth.
Project SPEAK will create awareness and transparency into the history of the Troubled Teen Industry, the effects that it has on families and relationships, and what communities gain by keeping families together using community-based alternatives.
