Episode Details

Some teens act impulsively because they're seeking adventure — for others, it's a cry for help. In today's show, Mark and Courtney sit down with two teens from Heartlight who engaged in self-destructive behaviors because they weren't sure how to deal with the pain they were feeling. One teen, Katie, opens up about how her parents' divorce at a young age set off a chain of reckless behaviors and substance abuse, ultimately leading her to Heartlight where she found self-worth and motivation to turn her life around. Tune in now!
