10 years ago today, I got out. But as long as this is still happening to children, I will keep talking about it.

This Pride Month, we stand with the Queer and Trans youth in the Troubled Teen Industry. At programs like New Haven RTC, LGBTQ+ youth have reported being targeted on the basis of their identity, facing discrimination, harassment, conversion therapy, and other forms of abuse and mistreatment.

This recent NH attendee describes some of the transphobia he faced while at New Haven, and his journey of self acceptance and resilience after leaving.

Amidst ongoing attacks on Trans rights in the U.S., programs like New Haven RTC continue to prey on vulnerable youth.

Queerness does not need to be “fixed.”

Over a decade later, this former NHRTC attendee reflects on her experience at New Haven and the impact it has had on her.

Shame can keep us silent for a long time, but it is possible to reclaim your voice. New Haven Voices aims to question the status quo and protect vulnerable youth at congregate care facilities like NHRTC.

Are you interested in sharing your experience and connecting with others? We invite you to submit art or writing to be included in our anniversary zine. The theme for this zine is “Then and Now.”

More information can be found at the link in our bio. #NHVoices

This former New Haven RTC attendee was contacted by a staff member from their private Facebook account asking the student to write a Google review about New Haven. While the staff member asks for an “honest” review, they clearly suggest that the only “honest” review is a positive review.

It is a violation of Google terms of service for a business to selectively solicit positive reviews. Additionally, we find it inappropriate and unprofessional for staff members to contact former students from their personal social media accounts.

Have you received similar messages from staff?

The main text box reads “How are you doing these days how is your family? I was wondering if you would be willing to write New Haven and honest review on google? There is a lot of negativity and false information out there that is scaring families away from getting help. And we were hoping we can have some alumni -itis reviews that families could see both sides…..”

“This is an actual message sent to an alumni by a staff member on their private facebook account. As we have covered last time, soliciting reviews is explicitly against Google’s rules.”

New Haven Voices would like to invite former NH attendees to a testimonial writing workgroup on Sunday February 2nd at 4:30pm EST.

This is an opportunity to write about your experience at New Haven and support the community through the testimonial writing process. There is no requirement to share, or even to write.

Please note that this is a testimony workgroup facilitated by former attendees, and it is not a therapy group or crisis management group.

Please message us for more details!

Last month the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act (S.1351/H.R.2955) was signed into law. This piece of federal legislation is the first of its kind, aimed at gaining insights into the state of youth residential treatment programs and congregate care facilities and compiling reports on the national level. These reports would allow for more transparency and accountability in funding sources, use of restraints and seclusion, abuse reports, and outcome studies. These reports will also consult with TTI survivors, families, and communities, rather than program CEOs and lobbyists.

SICAA is product of dedicated advocacy efforts by survivors of youth residential programs and their allies. SICAA would not be possible without the hard work and bravery of those who have come forward about their experiences. While we have a long way to go to ensure that youth are protected from institutional abuse and trauma, we celebrate the efforts of everyone who has worked tirelessly to make their voices heard!
