Dear Friend,
When teens face trouble, especially with substance or self-abuse, the barriers to help can be especially significant. There might be a natural reluctance to reach out to the “adult world,” or avoidance of issues that seem unsolvable, perhaps because of teen tendencies for thinking in extremes. Many teens get stuck in negative downward spirals, leading to damaging consequences and emotional despair.
Luckily for those who have found it, SMART Recovery has become a growing solution to stopping negative behavior in the teen population. Teens relate to SMART’s stigma free and self-empowering approach. |
