Hi! We’re teensforprofit, three survivors working to cinematically expose the troubled teen industry. The Troubled Teen Industry is a network of for profit abusive cults disguised as therapeutic boarding schools. They prey on families with at risk children, promising to save their lives through intensive therapy, but instead practice things like starvation, isolation, conversion therapy, medical malpractice, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and so many other forms of torture. At the bottom we've attached some links to help educate you on these places, and the history of their horrors.

We’ve been working on a documentary, that’s now turned into a docu-series helping survivors tell their stories while educating the world on the horrors of these places. So far, this project has been completely self funded, almost $50,000 has come from what was supposed to be Lila’s college fund. With that we were able to interview five beautiful survivors and shoot a bunch of reenactment scenes but there’s so much more work to be done. With editing, a few extra days of shooting in January,  providing travel and lodging to the survivors we’ve had to fly in, it’s been expensive and will only cost us more coming up. We’re asking for help to reach our goal of $10,000. This will help us pay for editing so we can work to secure funding on a larger scale from a major platform. If you can’t donate, don’t worry, even just sharing the @teensforprofit Instagram, ans this gofund me will help so much. We appreciate every single person who’s followed us, and shown support in this. We want to amplify your voices as much as possible, and we appreciate every single bit of help we can get. Thank you so much!!!
