About this episode
Many parents see their teens retreat — whether into substance use, technology or isolation — and wonder what they're really running from. In today’s episode, Mark sits down with Dean and RJ, two Heartlight residents, who share the personal struggles that led them to seek refuge in unhealthy habits — Dean through drugs, and RJ through hours of video games. Both young men open up about how avoiding their problems only left them feeling more lost, and how their time at Heartlight is helping them confront their pain, reconnect with family and rediscover who they truly are.
