Survivor & Advocate Lisa Spears, invites Survivors of the Troubled Teen Industry to a monthly peer support group via Zoom. Partners are welcome to join, but we ask that you be present in a support capacity. Sorry parents, staff, public, this one is not for you. Because of the nature of peer-on-peer pressure programming, the cure is in the cause and the light shines from the womb. We cannot learn to trust without experiencing safe relationships. Are you ready to try? Please remember that...

A year after she revisited her own Program (Spring Creek Lodge; WATCH on her YouTube), and just days after losing everything in the fires ravaging our country, Cadilina Deville cashed her last coins into her classic car gas tank and set across the country and through the desert to join the few Survivors who could make it out to Provo Canyon to protest with Paris Hilton on a weeks notice and a prayer.  Since we're moms and broke and couldn't transcendental meditate our way to Utah in time,...

This week is ALL EYES ON MI'KMA'KI National Week of Action #Treaty1752   (Cover Art by Indigenous Artist Hawlii Pichette aka Urban Iskwew @urban.iskwew www.urbaniskwew.com) As Colonization climaxes in Canada with open domestic terrorism and unabashed hate crimes against the Mik'maq fisherman in Nova Scotia, we are humbled to be entrusted with this message from Thunderchild.   From birth, Marie Knockwood was appointed and anointed to dismantle the systems which dismantled her people since...

On 10/3 the National Youth Rights Association (www.youthrights.org) held a conversation about the successes the anti- "Troubled Teen Industry"  movement has had shutting down abusive behavior modification facilities and the steps we can take to coordinate more closely between the various groups involved, including survivors, lawyers, state legislatures, and organizations focused on intersecting issues such as LGBTQIA+ rights.   Content warning: This panel may include mentions of child abuse,...

A little pre caffeinated rant on the continued & current hostile occupation of Turtle Island and the deplorable Assimilation of the Indigenous. From Pocahontas to the countless bodies of children left in unmarked graves littered around “residential school” remains. Residential schools REMAIN, just not openly racially motivated since the 90s. Assimilation is still happening. It’s October 12th, the perfect day to repay Turtle Island and her people for hosting us without consent. Educate,...

While we've been talking about our brothers quite regularly recently, we haven't spoken WITH one of them in far too long. So enjoy this 2hr special with Wes Good, as we make up for a loss in the masculine perspective. Whether you know Wes from the Family School, his real world life, or his band Deadwulf; you're about to know him a lot better.  Consider this a conversational rant-esque catch-up. We follow a spectrum of shiny subjects into and out of the darkness including but not limited to:...

If you're already in the anti-cool cult-kids club, then you're probably already following Pulitzer winning journalist, Jessica Miller on Twitter. Her current breakout series with the Salt Lake Tribune, is answering questions in Utah that generations of Survivors had previously dismissed as futile. The Tribune and their tenacious truth-seeker are definitely headed for yet another Pulitzer. Just the next, and certainly not the last, for both Jessica and the respectively revered legacy of...

Since Assimilation, which persists today, America has maintained a historic predatory preference for mass legal for-profit child abduction, trafficking, detainment, torture & murder. The modern Toughlove Troubled Teen Industry was created by “America’s Most Dangerous Cult”, Synanon and is a multi-billion dollar machine built on brainwashing millions of Americans. We are Survivors, and we’re sick of watching our friends die while we keep your dirty little open secret. #iseeyousurvivor...

[set to the tune of “do you know the muffin man”] Do you know the Music Man? Big little “man”, can’t run or tan. Do you know the Music Man? Who came to childrens’ pain.” TRIGGER WARNING: Let’s get too close and too personal to one of the Family Schools most prolific predatory pedophiles. While he’s not the only ex-staffer from FFS with a body trail from all the body autonomy he bulldozed through, he was the most voracious and indiscriminatory with his appetite. Often with cheeseburger in...
