Today’s parent, Trish, got her severely depressed and suicidal, young-adult son to choose to go to wilderness. We hear her journey of offering wilderness to her just 18-year-old son and what got him to go. She openheartedly shares her relief when he was there, her experience when he ran away, and the disappointment she felt after wilderness.

Trish is full of great advice for parents and I’m super excited to share it all with you! 

In this parent interview, we discuss:

• Her son’s challenges and her own;
• How her son got to wilderness;
• Where his son’s hesitancy to get help came from;
• The support Trish felt she got from the wilderness program;
• Incredible advice for parents;
• What it was like when her son came home from wilderness;
• And more!
