Do you ever feel that you're the only one out there who has been through the torment of one of the gulag schools? Do you try to explain your feelings and your experiences but nobody seems to understand? It's almost impossible for someone who hasn't experienced a behavior-modification school to understand the true horror of the daily life inside the gates.

Mountain Park Survivors is a group dedicated to helping those of us who have been through the gates and back again to realize that we are not alone. There are thousands of young adults out there who feel exactly the same way and we need a place to heal, to vent, and to let the past go while we say, "We were hurt, but we won't let that dictate who we are. We will stand up for ourselves, and for those who come after us, and will do what is right."

Our mission is to educate parents, young people, teachers, pastors, doctors, psychologists, attorneys, legislators, and any other person wishing to make a decision about sending a young person to a behavior modification school of the dangers of these institutions. We are sharing our experiences in the hope that we may save others from the pain we have endured.

May we all find comfort within each other to heal and vent and let the past go while saving others from the evil hands of Bob and Betty Wills and Sam and Debby Gerhardt and their family.
