A large portion of our archival information is submitted directly by survivors and other concerned citizens.

If you would like to help create or update profiles about TTI facilities, please check out our Data Submission Tool. Click the “?” button in the lower left corner for a tutorial! Additionally, you can submit information for the r/troubledteens subreddit wiki here.

If you have relevant documents that you would like to share anonymously, you can upload them using our encrypted upload tool.

You can also assist us in keeping up with TTI news by submitting article URLs and summaries using our News Processor Tool.

If you have information to share about legislation related to the TTI, please use our dedicated submission tool for legislative updates.

If you are aware of a lawsuit involving TTI programs or staff, please submit the information using our lawsuit submission tool.

Finally, our website is a work in progress. Reporting any bugs or inaccuracies you encounter helps us keep everything running smoothly. Click on the flag buttons throughout the site to create an error report for our team.
