ABOUT TRAPPED IN TREATMENT Season 2 Trapped In Treatment is a new docu-style podcast series from Paris Hilton, Warner Bros. Unscripted TV In Association With Telepictures, and iHeart Media, that will examine and expose the dark secrets of the "Troubled Teen Industry." Beginning with Provo Canyon School, each season will focus on the story of one youth treatment facility, its survivors, and the traumatizing abuse at the hands of their captors. Hosted by Caroline Cole and Rebecca Mellinger, Trapped in Treatment weaves together personal accounts with historical detail and expert opinions to shine a light on what really happens at behavior modification centers and how this billion-dollar industry has flourished for so long. Episodes here:  https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-trapped-in-treatment-91773544/ CAROLINE COLE BIO Caroline Cole is an entrepreneur, activist, and trauma-focused women's transformation coach. At 14 years old, Caroline was sent to a lock-down behavior modification facility where she would stay for 29 months and encounter some of the most horrifying deprivations of human rights. Through her own reckoning with this experience, Caroline has channeled her outrage into public policy and social change through her role as the Director of Government Relations for the non-profit Breaking Code Silence. Her personal experiences with trauma, including domestic violence, addiction, institutionalization, homelessness, and consequentially living with C-PTSD allows her to see greater social issues through a unique and compassionate lens. Turning her pain into purpose, Caroline advocates for a world where the effects of trauma are understood and public policy effectively allows for the treatment and prevention of abuse in all forms. Caroline's background is in psychology, mental health, state government, and advocacy. She believes that through the deinstitutionalization of all people and the rebuilding of our communities and families, we may finally experience healing as a nation and throughout the world. REBECCA MELLINGER BIO Rebecca Mellinger is passionate about harnessing the power of entertainment to drive social change. As Paris Hilton's Impact Producer, she is working to reform the "Troubled Teen Industry" through policy change, public awareness, and mental health support services for institutional abuse survivors. Rebecca is also leading the impact campaign for Duty Free, an independent documentary about ageism and the need for intergenerational care. With a background in nonprofit management and the entertainment industry, Rebecca manages every aspect of each impact campaign - from working on the ground with the impacted community, interfacing with national partners, and developing effective programming.https://www.trappedintreatment.co/https://parishilton.com/1111-media/https://www.stopinstitutionalchildabuse.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time.
