About this episode
Mark Gregston joins Wayne Shepherd to discuss the dangers of teen substance abuse and how parents can respond. Mark emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries, seeking counseling and keeping teens engaged in healthy activities — while also allowing natural consequences to take their course. Most of all, he reminds parents to continue showing love through the struggle, offering support when it’s needed most, even when it’s hardest to give.
