Breaking Free: A Survivor's Battle with Lifeline's Dark Reality

I just kind of felt so trapped and almost...when the opportunity finally came, I was like: okay, this is it, like?
Imagine being trapped in a place where every move is scrutinized, and hope seems like a distant dream. In this gripping episode of 'Surviving Straight Inc', a survivor recounts her harrowing experience in the Lifeline program, a notorious spin-off of Straight Incorporated. She takes us through the gut-wrenching 21-day evaluation that left her feeling utterly hopeless and her daring escape attempt that followed. But the nightmare didn't end there.
She reveals the chilling reality of the so-called 'family sessions', where she bravely tried to confront her father about his physical and emotional abuse, only to find herself silenced by the very people who were supposed to help. The survivor paints a vivid picture of how Lifeline manipulated parents, turning them into unwitting enforcers of the program's abusive tactics. Through her story, we see the stark contrast between Lifeline's facade of responsibility and the dark truth lurking beneath.
This episode isn't just a recounting of past horrors; it's a powerful reminder that Lifeline, now operating under the name Lifeline For Youth, continues to exist today. Tune in to hear a story of resilience, survival, and the ongoing fight against abusive rehabilitation programs.
