Whether it's escaping through drugs or physically running away from home, some teens aren't sure how else to cope with life's hurts and challenges other than running from them. In today's show, Mark Gregston is joined by Courtney Lafleur, a counselor at Heartlight, to talk to two teens who reflect on why they were sent to the program and what they've learned since being here. One young man opens up about his journey from impulsivity and drug use to newfound sobriety and self-awareness — and why he tried to run away from Heartlight at first!
