Summary
Many of today’s teens are searching for where they fit in. Sometimes they pull away from family, dive too deep into the digital world or don't know how to reach out for help. On this episode, Mark sits down with two young ladies from Heartlight who get honest about feeling misunderstood and cut off — whether that came from changing schools, substance use or hours spent glued to a phone. They reveal how their search for belonging led them down difficult paths, but with time and honest conversations, they’ve discovered the importance of rebuilding real connections — with their families and with themselves. Know a young adult who loves working with teens? We may have a spot for them among our residential staff! Go to heartlight.jobs to learn more.
