| What is the mission of your organization? | |
| Breaking Code Silence is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that represents children, youth, and adults who are/were incarcerated in the U.S. 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. We are committed to passing both federal and state legislation prohibiting child abuse in congregate care. We are a survivor driven organization with 2 main goals: eradicating institutional child abuse, and empowering hundreds of thousands of survivors in the United States to heal and promote positive social change. Our volunteers donate their time, resources, knowledge, and skills, both personally and professionally, to advocate and fight against institutional child abuse. We have already become innovators and leaders in policy, advocacy, and research. We have diverted children from being placed in congregate care, provided documentation to close abusive programs (like Cedar Ridge Academy), and passed protective state legislation. |
