- Hopestream is a Community of Acceptance and Support
The Hopestream podcast and online community have been central to working through the tough years of parenting an adolescent with substance use and mental health disorders. The Stream is where I can find resources, counseling, support, and not feel alone in the storm. The moms that are alongside me are such beautiful and strong individuals. Grateful that the Stream exists for us. Thank you Brenda & Cathy. đź©·
