Breaking the Silence: Survivor Stories
Michael Chen
Program Survivor & Activist
The power of sharing our stories cannot be understated. As survivors of the troubled teen industry, many of us have carried our experiences in silence for years. Today, we're breaking that silence.
The Impact of Speaking Out
When survivors share their stories, they:
- Help others feel less alone
- Expose industry practices
- Encourage legislative change
- Promote healing and recovery
Finding Support
Support networks are crucial for survivors. Resources include:
- Survivor support groups
- Trauma-informed therapists
- Legal advocacy organizations
- Online communities
Taking Action
Ways to get involved:
- Share your story
- Support advocacy groups
- Contact legislators
- Help raise awareness
Together, we can create change and prevent future abuse. Your voice matters, and your story can make a difference in the lives of others who have experienced similar trauma.
