Speaking of Teens
Episode #10: Our Family’s Story of Discovery and Hope
Our son struggled with anxiety and major depression during his teen years and began self-medicating and acting out in ways that literally put his life in danger. His behavior completely baffled us. We just couldn’t understand what was happening or how to help him change course.
Whether you have a child who’s exploding with negative emotion, having a difficult time with their mental health, misusing drugs, or alcohol, or is simply difficult to communicate with, this episode’s for you.
When we were in the middle of trying to figure out how to help our son, I constantly searched the internet for stories of transformation that would give me just a little hope. At the time, there was just not much out there.
I want you to know….there’s so much hope! We worked hard and found our happy ending and so can you.
