ROOTED International Institute for Family & Community Mental Health
Strengthening Relationships. Expanding Access. Helping Communities Flourish.
Mental health support should not depend solely on whether a community has enough mental health professionals.
ROOTED International Institute for Family & Community Mental Health is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to strengthening the capacity of communities to support mental health, relationships, and resilience.
We work with organizations and frontline workers to help bring practical mental health knowledge and resources into the places where people already live, learn, work, worship, and receive care.
A world where communities flourish through strong relationships and accessible mental health support.
ROOTED International Institute for Family & Community Mental Health strengthens community mental health by providing Resilience Oriented Outreach, Training, Education and Development to organizations and frontline workers.
