Hopestream: Parenting Kids Through Addiction & Mental Health
When your teen or young adult is misusing drugs or alcohol, you need more than just tactics—you need hope, healing, and a path forward for your entire family.
Hopestream delivers expert guidance and emotional support for parents navigating their child's substance use and mental health struggles. Hosted by Brenda Zane, Mayo Clinic Certified health coach and CRAFT-trained Parent Coach who nearly lost her son to addiction, this podcast goes beyond "how to get them into treatment" to address the full ecosystem of this journey.
Episodes features:
- Leading addiction, prevention, and treatment experts
- Real stories from families who've been there
- Evidence-based strategies for helping your child
- Self-care and coping tools for parents
- Deeper conversations about finding meaning, joy, and even unexpected blessings through the hardest times
Whether you're dealing with a teen or young adult's drug use, alcohol misuse, or co-occurring mental health challenges, Hopestream offers the comprehensive support other parenting and addiction podcasts miss. This is your safe space to heal, learn, and discover you're not alone.
