OUR ORIGINS

Hopestream Community’s genesis is found in a passion project started by Brenda Zane after her son struggled for years with a high-risk lifestyle and addiction – culminating in two fentanyl overdoses in three days.

From her intense desire to prevent other parents from experiences like hers, she began a podcast and online community for moms in early 2020. In 2021, Cathy Cioth, community member and impacted parent, joined Zane to grow the organization and serve more families.

TODAY

Today, Hopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization driven by a collective of experienced professionals and parents. We’re fiercely passionate about improving the lives of families impacted by substance misuse, addiction, and mental health challenges.

We host two distinct and private parent communities, a weekly podcast, educational experiences, retreats, and local meetups serving those who identify as parents or caregivers to teens and young adults who struggle with substance misuse and mental health.
