Maggie’s story “As a child, I grew up with one parent in prison and the other struggling with alcoholism.  By the time I reached adolescence, the emotional pain had become so unbearable that I ended up turning to alcohol and drug use in order to cope with my sadness.  The pain, however, did not go away and my thoughts were clouded with suicide on a regular basis.  The work that I did on myself and the help that I received during those dark moments is the reason I am here today.  Too often, we think there is no choice and that there is no way things can get better.  But things can get better and the work I do with teens and young adults helps them understand and accept this perspective.”
