Full description: Horrific accounts from survivors of the Troubled Teen Industry (TTI) have been shared in recent documentaries, books, and podcasts. Noting their implicit coercion and historic abuses, some have called for these types of youth residential programs to be abolished, citing the significant trauma carried by survivors.
This workshop provides a trauma-informed path forward in supporting and engaging survivors of the TTI. Attendees will learn about the historical concerns within the TTI, and be provided practical, innovative, and gentle ideas for how adults can provide empowering, healing spaces for youth and families in the wake of a TTI placement.
