Online Community Support

You are not alone.

Enthusiastic Sobriety Abuse Alliance has compiled a directory of survivor online support groups and forums for ESA Survivors along with other more generalized and specialized support forums.

You can also visit our Events page for Monthly Zoom Support Groups or our Survivor Support Community Network to be connected with a fellow ESA Survivor.

Online Community Forums

  • Reddit Meehan Program Survivors

    r/MeehanSurvivors

    This is a Reddit Community for members, staff & family of Insight, Pathway, Crossroads, Cornerstone, PDAP, Full Circle, Lifeway, Freeway, SLIC Ranch, and or any Bob Meehan Alternative Peer Group program. Feel free to speak your mind on this page and share experiences with these programs but please always be respectful to other's views. We believe survivors. If you had a great time in these programs, great. But a lot of folks experience serious abuse and this page is for them.

  • UnSilenced Discord Server

    Join this survivor Discord server to chat with fellow survivors of youth congregate care facilities including residential programs, behavior modification programs, religious programs, rehabs, boot camps, wilderness therapy and other “treatments” sometimes referred to as the “Troubled Teen Industry”

  • r/TroubledTeens

    We are a community of survivors and advocates who oppose the abusive Troubled Teen Industry. We seek to raise awareness and to change the law to protect the teenagers in these programs from harm. Join us in our fight to combat abuse and neglect in 'troubled teen' programs! Together we can make a difference!
