I think it's important for families to know that if your child is struggling, it doesn't have to get to such an extreme like my son to find help for them and then to know that...that time when he was there and your time as a family. I hope that was informative and helpful.
Ever find yourself worried about your teen but can't quite put your finger on what's wrong? In this episode of 'Hopestream', Brenda Zane sits down with Annika, a mom who faced this exact dilemma. Annika noticed her teenage son was withdrawing, skipping family events, and refusing to get out of bed. While drugs and alcohol weren't the culprits, something was definitely off. Annika decided to take action, even when others thought she was overreacting.
She shares her family's journey, offering a candid look at the challenges and triumphs they experienced. Brenda and Annika dive into how to distinguish between typical teenage behavior and signs that something more serious is going on. They discuss the emotional toll on parents, including stress-related issues like weight loss and hair loss. The episode also highlights the benefits of wilderness therapy programs and the importance of self-care for parents.
Annika's story is a powerful reminder that sometimes, stepping in early can make all the difference. If you're grappling with similar concerns, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to help you navigate these tough times.
