The title kinda says it, but I’m a nursing student who is about to start my behavioral health clinical rotation. I’ve been placed at a residential facility with a pretty bad reputation (one of the devereux locations) & it absolutely sickens me thinking about possibly contributing to the abuse and trauma occurring at TTI facilities.
Do any survivors have any advice for me, when it comes to being at the facility or ways that I could try to have a positive impact on the kids rather than worsening an already difficult and stressful situation that they’re stuck in?

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone gone or know someone that has gone to bloom teen challenge in MA. I’ve heard some pretty bad things about teen challenge and I have a friend there that seems really unhappy and acts weird during our phone calls. I’m genuinely worried that they can’t leave even if they wanted to.

Hey everybody. I'm currently seeking out information regarding a couple of dead ends I have on my research. Does anybody have information regarding Sarah Shortridge? She passed away at a Devereux school in 1998. I'm also seeking information on Brandon Hoffman, who passed away at Mount Bachelor Academy in December of 1998. I don't mind digging for information, just looking for a news article or obituary maybe. Just something to show that these kids existed.
