About this episode
Trauma — and the sense of loneliness that often follows — can leave teens feeling hopeless about their futures. That hopelessness can lead to some dark places, but finding help and support makes all the difference. Today, Mark sits down with two Heartlight teens who reflect on their stories. From grappling with depression and substance abuse to confronting family challenges, Hayden shares the heartache of losing a brother and dealing with his parents' divorce. Meanwhile, Tiller opens up about feeling trapped in a cycle of substance use before finding a path to healing. Tune in!
