Teen Stories: "Broken, But Healing"

Trauma can cause kids to have to grow up too quickly — and no matter how resilient a teen may seem, having a supportive family can make a huge difference. In today's episode, Mark talks with two more Heartlight teens, including Tiller, who opens up about her spiral into substance dependence. She used drugs and alcohol to cope with the pressures of growing up too fast and to mask her trauma. But now, she's working to heal the broken parts of herself, along with her relationship with her mom. Listen in!
