Imagine being a Hollywood director, used to creating picture-perfect family stories, only to find your own family life spiralling out of control. This is exactly what happened to Mark Rosman, known for directing hits like 'Cinderella Story' and 'Lizzie McGuire'. In this episode of Hopestream, Mark shares his deeply personal journey through his daughter’s substance use and mental health challenges.
Alongside host Brenda Zane, he opens up about the denial he and his wife faced, their reluctance to seek immediate treatment, and the emotional roller coaster that followed. Mark describes hitting rock bottom, feeling hopeless and depressed, but eventually finding a way to set boundaries and focus on his own well-being. His story is not just one of struggle but also of growth and transformation.
As he navigated these challenges, Mark realised the importance of parents' roles in their children's recovery. This revelation inspired him to create a new film, 'Keep Coming Back', which focuses on the parents' perspective in dealing with a child's addiction and mental health issues. Through heartfelt anecdotes and candid reflections, Mark provides a unique look at how parents can find hope and healing even in the darkest times.
He also discusses the making of his film, the impact it aims to have, and the incredible team behind it, including Amy Redford and Gerald Dreyfus.

It’s a powerful reminder that while the journey may be tough, there is always hope and a path to healing.
