Overcoming Family Separation Lead Her to Start a Nationwide Program to Help Teens Overcome Adverse Childhood Experiences

<p>When she was in high school, Samantha Wetje&apos;s family seemed perfect from the outside. Their family was a pillar to the community. But what they didn&apos;t know was that her dad&apos;s mental health struggles and addition issues had lead to her family being torn apart. While Samantha was devestated at the time, she didn&apos;t have the words to really understand what she was going through.<br/><br/>Years later, Samantha realized that she was not the only teen to have experienced an Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE). She now has founded a nationwide program dedicated to helping kids understand what ACEs are and how they can overcome them.<br/><br/><b>About 16 Strong</b><br/>For more information on Samantha and the 16 Strong Project, visit <a href='https://16strongproject.com'>16strongproject.com</a> or <a href='https://www.instagram.com/16strongproject/'>@16strongproject</a> on Instagram.<br/><br/><b>Contact Meghan</b> <br/><a href='https://judgingmeghan.com'>judgingmeghan....
