Web site is back up

Hi everyone,

Sorry about the site being down for a while. Technical problems with hosting company but all is well once again. I've received a lot of emails from women who have been in reform schools and have stories to share. POST THEM HERE on this blog! You are not alone.

I have also had a lot of people ask where they can buy the book. Amazon and Powell's are sold out of Reform at Victory so the best way to order it is through PIZAN MEDIA, the independent publisher. Just click on the yellow box in this home page. And you can always email me at: micheletresler@gmail.com if you need to talk privately about your experience. I answer all my emails.

Remember, power in numbers. Let's get the word out about these unlicensed reform schools. They are still in existence and thriving. More people need to speak out.

Peace,

Michele

Technical Difficulties...

My web site was down for about a week due to technical problems with my domain provider. As you can see it's back up but missing some content as well as media/publicity links. Working to do a restore. Quickest easiest way to reach me is through: micheletresler@gmail.com

Link to TVO's A Night at the Movies in Toronto

I was fortunate enough to be invited to Toronto, Ontario, Canada to talk about my experience at VCA in 1986. The interview went really well. Here is the link:

RAV on Canadian TV Program...

Last night a TV program called A Night at the Movies aired an interview that we taped last summer about my experience at Victory Christian Academy, my book Reform at Victory, and my thoughts and opinions about unlicensed reform schools in general. TVO, the station located in Toronto, is on facebook where there is a link to the program.

I am thankful to the producers and editors for doing such a fantastic job and hosting me (and my daughter) last summer. It was a great experience to meet people who had a genuine interest in learning about these facilities and being willing to air a program that calls into question the procedures at such facilities. It didn't hurt that Toronto is a great city and one that I'll visit again.

Hope you can check out the show and post here to let others know what you think.

New Web Site for Former VCA Women

I just received an email from a VCA survivor who has put together a web site dedicated to any women who were at VCA either in Ramona, CA or Jay, FL. I looked it over and it looks great. I was asked to post the link at my web site. Here it is:
