Breaking Code Silence
Raising awareness of the problems in the Troubled Teen Industry
Breaking Code Silence represents children, youth, and adults who are/were incarcerated in the US’ troubled teen industry (TTI), a network of privately-owned, powerfully punitive, and often wilderness-based therapy programs, residential treatment centers, therapeutic boarding schools, group homes, boot camps, and faith-based academies.
Breaking Code Silence intends to be a vehicle for the TTI-survivor community–ever striving to uplift, organize, and inspire present and future generations, while promoting youth rights and evidence-based alternatives to the troubled teen industry.
