“I never imagined I’d be here…”
I felt the same way, and you’re not alone.
I created the gathering space for parents of children struggling with substance misuse and mental health challenges. The lifeline that brings parents from crisis mode to a more stable, informed, and healthier place.
This happens in a safe and private online hub centered around education, wellness, and connection called Hopestream Community.
what we provide
We offer a holistic health, wellness, and education program integrated within a powerful online community to help those who identify as moms and dads of kids with substance use and mental health challenges get healthier, learn skills, and stay connected and sane.
The dynamic, modern approach we offer consists of:
An empathetic and informative podcast featuring stories, experts, strategies, and tools
A robust online learning platform to help you be better equipped and to help motivate your child toward positive change
Extensive and various resources for every stage of the roller coaster you’re riding
Private, gender-specific communities for learning, self-care, and connection
Educational and rejuvenating events, including retreats, workshops, expert speakers, and live local meetups
about the kids we love
Our children are simultaneously beautiful and challenging.
They’re brilliant and clever and struggle to direct their immense talent in positive ways. When healthy, they’ll change the world.
Currently, they may look something like this;
teens or college-aged kids who are experimenting with or dependent on marijuana and alcohol
adolescents and young adults misusing substances like Xanax, Percocet, Fentanyl, cocaine, Kratom, LSD or heroin
a young person on the autism spectrum struggling with social anxiety, gender identity, or executive functioning
kids refusing high school or failing college due to substance use, depression, or anxiety
teens who’ve developed eating disorders or engage in self-harm in addition to misusing substances
young people who identify as LGBTQ+ and are misusing drugs or alcohol
a teen or young adult who’s experienced an unintentional overdose or has thoughts of suicide
adolescents or young people in wilderness therapy, therapeutic boarding school, or residential treatment programs
young people transitioning to step-down houses, sober living, or in early recovery
