About Us
WHO WE ARE
This is our story
The Resilience Project started as an idea between 2 survivors of the troubled teen industry and 2 allies who wanted to spread more awareness of this little known issue. Spread different states and regions of the United States, we've faced more than a few challenges. Needing something to be remote-friendly as well as possible with 3 minors as heads of the project led us into a couple dead-ends before we landed on our current idea: Compiling the first hand stories of TTI survivors into a novel that can do justice to the experience, while also trying to share as many different people's accounts as possible.
Our Mission Statement
The Resilience Project's mission is to compile the powerful stories of survivors of the Troubled Teen Industry into a book that will shed light on the challenges faced by these vulnerable youth. Through this project, we seek to bring awareness to the often-overlooked struggles that these individuals have endured, and to highlight their strength and resilience in the face of adversity. With this, we hope to inspire compassion and understanding to these victims, and ensure that these important narratives are given the respect and attention they deserve. Together we can make a difference in the lives of those who have overcome unimaginable obstacles, and work towards a brighter future for all.
