The Trouble With The Troubled Teen Industry with Caroline Cole and Rebecca Mellinger Grone
The Troubled Teen Industry has some explaining to do and this week Caroline Cole and Rebecca Mellinger Grone are here to tell us why. They are the co-hosts of the podcast Trapped in Treatment (produced by Paris Hilton & Warner Brothers) that weaves together personal accounts with historical detail and expert opinions to shine a light on what really happens at teen behavior modification centers and how this billion-dollar industry has flourished for so long. The industry that promises hope and help to parents struggling with making the best decisions for their kids... is actually handing out more trauma than actual therapy. As Kat, Caroline, and Rebecca talk about these programs, in which some have ZERO licensed clinical staff & are run by teams focussed on dollar signs, this episode will leave you not just shocked, but pissed off.
Caroline Cole is an entrepreneur, policy advocate, and Special Advisor to the International Coalition Against Restraint and Seclusion. After 2 ½ years in a “troubled teen” program, she knew she needed to change the system. In her work, Caroline draws from her own experiences with trauma to drive social change. Caroline, alongside Paris Hilton, penned the federal bill, The Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act, and has successfully passed laws across the country to prevent youth from being abused in institutional settings.
Rebecca Mellinger Grone harnesses the power of entertainment and media platforms to drive social change. Head of Impact at Paris Hilton’s media company 11:11 Media, she is reforming the "Troubled Teen Industry" through policy change, public awareness, and providing direct assistance for institutional abuse survivors.

Customer Reviews
Amazing
No matter where you are on your mental health journey, this podcast is for you. Kat is relatable, funny, and passionate about what she does. She brings in great guests, but even her solo episodes are so insightful. Give this a listen! You won’t regret it.
Weekly Must Listen!
I’m a weekly listener of 4 months! I was introduced to you need therapy through Amy Brown’s podcast. I really enjoyed hearing Amy and Kat chat like they were some of my girlfriends having coffee in my kitchen, so when I heard Kat mention her own podcast, I was eager to give it a listen. I also began my own personal therapy journey this year to begin addressing several topics in my life and so I appreciate hearing from the therapists perspective, but also I feel like Kat is just like another friend, talking to us, her friends, honestly about all sorts of things. I also really appreciate the variety that she brings to the show. Big fan!!!
5 stars
I’m a regular listener. Have been for over a year now. I found Kat because she and Amy Brown collaborate. I love listening to Kat give a therapist’s insight on real life issues. Couch talks is a really useful and intriguing addition to the Podcast!
