A place to advocate, support, and heal TOGETHER.

NeuroDefiant & Unsilenced – Join our newest support group. This aims to be a creative support space for neurodivergent survivors of the Troubled Teen Industry

Survivorland – We are an eclectic group of Anti-Troubled Teen Industry voices, dedicated to providing the safest place on the internet for all survivors of institutional abuse. We would like to invite you to use this space to share war stories and connect with long-lost friends. To support one another, and to validate each other. To laugh, to cry, and to reminisce together. To share news, old or new, about your programs, or about yourselves. To talk about those things that folks outside of this strange little community just might not quite understand. We offer this space for you to talk about your projects, seek advice from fellow survivors, and teach one another the skills that it takes to go about living life after the TTI.

Unsilenced – This is the new Facebook space for UnSilenced, Inc. UnSilenced started as a grassroots movement of survivors and advocates speaking out about institutionalized child abuse. We are now in the process of incorporating into a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
