DISCLAIMER: All statements in this episode are opinions. This purpose of this episode is not to target and attack certain organizations and individuals rather ask the question, "How can we insure ethical, evidence-based, compassionate mental health treatment for all teenagers?"

Today I am joined by Sydney Montana, a TTI survivor who attended Cross Creek (a Southern Utah Behavioral Modification Program) for over 15 months.
