Description
Teens struggling with depression may find it very hard to keep up with the pressures of life — they feel weighed down, and they're not sure how to talk about it. In today's show, Mark talks with two teens who both struggled with depression and suicidality. Ian, Heartlight’s first resident from Vermont, opens up about his struggle with anxiety and substance abuse. We hear how he found hope and purpose at Heartlight, and is now looking forward to a bright future, including attending college. Tune in now!
