Today, we’re interviewing Amy, who’s sharing her experiences as a mom who sent her teen to wilderness therapy. 

Amy’s son started out as a happy, bubbly kid but when he reached puberty, he started getting more moody and depressed. Things took a turn for the worse and he started using video games as a coping mechanism. Slowly, she saw her bright son become withdrawn and miserable to be with. 

In this first part of the interview with Amy, we’re honing in on their home situation before wilderness, the things they tried to help their teen at home, the pressure on their marriage, and how they eventually decided wilderness therapy would be their best option. 

I know Amy’s story will resonate with many parents out there, so tune in and have a listen!
