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.
