About this episode
It can be tough at ANY age to confront the "why" behind your behaviors. But as these teens show us in today's episode, being honest with yourself about what you're going through can lead to big changes. Mark and Courtney talk with two teens, including Jack, who admits his use of drugs and alcohol masked deeper issues, including trauma and anxiety. He shares how his stay at Heartlight has helped him confront his past and learn foundational tools to handle life's challenges without resorting to substance abuse. Listen in!
