122. Ending Institutionalized Child Abuse feat. Breaking Code Silence - THE TROUBLED TEEN INDUSTRY

<p>Today's guest is Bobby Cook, who is on the <em>Breaking Code Silence</em> team. <em>Breaking Code Silence </em>is a nonprofit organization that works to support and uplift survivors of the troubled teen industry (TTI) while promoting evidence-based alternatives to the TTI for present and future generations and their parents. In this episode, we discuss what exactly the TTI is and our difficult experiences with it, major red flags that families should avoid when seeking treatment programs for teens, struggles faced by teens after they leave these programs and barriers they face in seeking justice, and how people can get involved to help shut down these programs for good. </p><p><em>Breaking Code Silence</em> Website: <a href="https://www.breakingcodesilence.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.breakingcodesilence.org/</a> </p><p>MENTIONED</p><p>+ <a href="https://www.instagram.com/breakingcodesilenceofficial/?utm_medium=copy_link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Breaking Code Silence's Instagram</a></p><p>+ <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BreakingCodeSilence" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Breaking Code Silence's Facebook</a></p><p>+<em> </em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/BreakingCodeSilence/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Breaking Code Silence's Youtube</a> </p><p>+ <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@breakingcodesilence" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Breaking Code Silence's TikTok</a></p><p>+ <a href="https://www.breakingcodesilence.org/for-parents/indicators-of-abuse/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Indicators of Abuse</a> </p><p>+ <a href="https://www.breakingcodesilence.org/about-us/volunteer/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Volunteering with Breaking Code Silence</a></p><p>+ <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOg0TY1jG3w" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>This is Paris</em></a></p><p>+ <a href="https://www.shepersistedpodcast.com/podcast-episodes/ep64" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_b
