"The program is not a flawed clinical intervention but a highly effective religious conversion program that has been mislabeled as addiction treatment. Its methods, staffing, and definition of success are all logical extensions of its foundational theological beliefs."

April 15 marked fifteen years since I first walked through the doors at Teen Challenge.

In honor of this year's anniversary, I wanted to share this personal essay that I wrote about a year ago and had the opportunity to read at a small literature reading at a wine bar in Brooklyn:
This is for the girls that I used to love but I never told
an essay on realizing i was queer in the midst of trauma that was rejected by 3 different publications so I'm just self publishing it here

it proves a lot of claims teen challenge has made publicly (even via their lawyers) wrong and is very important proof of how fucked that whole industry of wilderness camps and "rehab" centers are. im really hoping some other journalists pick up our work where we left off.

during the early months of covid, the city of Minneapolis used a complaint from a school operated by Teen Challenge to clear a homeless encampment, at a time when all public schools and most private schools were operating remotely. they will give in to hate if we let them
Cis people aren't angry enough about the conversion therapy case for my taste.

They'll legalize it, and then States will pass laws requiring it, and that will be how they try to exterminate us.

The sheer fury I have for Teen Challenge and the whole 'troubled teen industry' is unfathomable. For TC they're only abusers with furiously wealthy donors.

I have a lot of feelings lately, but I'm currently triggered by my #troubledteenindustry past

It's so upsetting

It was conversion therapy at the hands of Teen Challenge

"I lived, bitch" as a mantra

This is why so many people who were in the troubled teen industry are still "programmed." It's a cult. So you either go spread the cult messaging or you have to deconstruct who you learned to be in your formative years and reconstruct who you are.

#BreakingCodeSilence
Having spent seven or so years in a cult... some folks wake up and walk. Others don't pull their head out of their ass until they're kicked out. Either way, it's part of your identity, and you then have to process the loss of that part of your identity.
I just read someone say that "77 million Americans were so easily conned and so gullible" and like...

it's been a decades-long con. 40+ years this con has been going on. Yes it started small and snowballed but for fuck's sake, it's like having grown up in a cult for some people.

Teen Challenge and other troubled teen programs appear in the Epstein files. Here's what we know, and what this exposes about the TTI.
Jeffrey Epstein & the Troubled Teen Industry
Jeffrey Epstein sent a troubled teen to a boarding school across the country... this exposes a glaring flaw within the Troubled Teen Industry.

A salient point for how the statute of limitations is anti-children and anti-humanity.
instead of reaching the sensible “MeToo did not go far enough” conclusion, what if we just go back to investigating suspicious Wayfair listings and mis-analyzing Eyes Wide Shut
