Teen Stories: Taking a Step Back


Listen Later

When a teen is really struggling, it can sometimes be hard for them to see the situation clearly — whether it's poor choices they're making or why their parents are concerned. But taking a step back from the situation can make all the difference. Today, Mark talks with two teens who open up about what led them down difficult paths. Both teens reveal the ways that broken communication at home, unmet emotional needs and risky decisions shaped their journeys. At Heartlight, they're beginning to understand what went wrong — and how to heal.

Is the Heartlight residential program the answer for your struggling teen? Go to heartlightministries.org today to learn more.
