Welcome to the Community
Hopestream Community™ is a non-profit collection of support and educational services for parents of adolescents and young adults struggling with substance use and mental health challenges.
Your teams are the unsung heroes of a generation uniquely impacted by mental health and substance use challenges, compounded by a global health pandemic and pervasive social media.
Hopestream Community supports parents in a unique way
> We give parents 24/7 virtual connection to peer support specialists, professional mentors and curated content – when and where it’s convenient for them
> Our signature retreats and in-person events help reduce isolation and shame, building confidence and a sense of belonging
> Our communities exist outside of all social media for complete privacy, and extend beyond Zoom calls
> Our evidence-based approach teaches practical skills that help parents improve communication, and provides psychoeducation on substance use, addiction, and the broader impact on family members
> We offer monthly expert guest speakers to broaden parents’ knowledge and perspective around addiction, treatment options, and mental and physical wellness
> Our free podcast provides hundreds of hours of expert and peer-based content consumable anytime from anywhere
> With a deep focus on positive psychology and wellness, we offer vetted resources for coaching, self-paced education, and self-care
> Activities like trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness practices help regulate members so they’re better equipped to manage the daily strain of having a child in active addition, or who’s getting help in a treatment setting
> National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coaches guide parents whose health has been impacted by their child’s substance misuse and lifestyle
Supporting parents is a giant task
We know because we’ve been them
When young people struggle with substance use and mental health, the “identified patient” needs to include the whole family – parents especially. Yet most of your resources must be applied to the adolescent or young adult needing services.
There's a need for more
We’re on 24/7/365, globally
We complement your work
There’s always a need for parents and primary caregivers to learn new skills, grow their understanding, and be supported daily. It’s a big task that takes time and resources.
Our podcast and communities are app-based, always on, and focus on knowledge and behavior changes that get parents better equipped to more fully implement what you offer.
We know healthier, more educated, and regulated parents can help create better outcomes for their kids, and we’re here to complement the heroic work you do to heal families.
We offer the confidence of a science and evidence-based approach
The Invitation to Change Approach (ITC) is a broadly applicable change model that’s made up of three main parts: Understanding, Awareness, and Action.
It takes a village.
We work with organizations and professionals with a shared mission of helping families heal and thrive.
