Hyde School Survivors Disclaimer

This is an account started by survivors of Hyde School in Bath, Maine, and Woodstock, Connecticut. Here you will find stories from former attendees of Hyde School, testimonies from parents, information about the Troubled Teen Industry, and more. This account's mission is to relay experiences and perspectives of people who have attended Hyde Boarding School (currently in Bath, Maine; the Woodstock Connecticut campus closed in 2017) through the voices of people who may identify as survivors, and to explain how these experiences have impacted them, to explore information and history that is relevant to the culture and ethos of Hyde School, as experienced by all who post on this page, as well as to educate about the deeply problematic Troubled Teen Industry and the Breaking Code Silence/Unsilenced movement.
