Resources for mentors: http://joshshipp.com/get-started The all-new gritty unscripted series, Teen Trouble, premiers December 28 on Lifetime, with a national campaign to support Big Brothers Big Sisters, a program proven to change the odds for youth who face adversity. Behavior specialist and Teen Trouble host Josh Shipp is a former "Little Brother" who credits his mentor, Gary, for helping him through his troubled teen years, which were scarred by childhood abandonment, addiction, abuse and depression http://www.bbbs.org/ A Lifetime Twitter promotion will encourage fans to become Big Brothers Big Sisters donors. For every RT, @LifetimeTV will donate $1 to @BBBSA (up to $15,000). Lifetime has also produced public service announcements (PSAs) featuring Shipp that aim to help Big Brothers Big Sisters raise funds to carefully make and maintain meaningful mentoring matches; recruit more mentors, and encourage program alumni like Shipp to reconnect with the organization to help kids avoid teen trouble. The PSAs will run on Lifetime through the series run "Every kid is one caring adult away from being a success story," Shipp said.
