That our relationships to others, ourselves and our problems, are the roots of our wellbeing.
We are rooted in the belief
Rooted Support was conceived by Kristin with one hope:
– to connect people to the mental health support they need without anyone falling through the cracks. Working in mental health for as long as she has, Kristin has heard too many stories of how difficult it is to get the right kind of help. This website is Kristin’s attempt to provide some options.
Rooted Support was built especially for people transitioning to parenthood as a place where they can feel connected and informed. Kristin’s experience has given her insight in to the kind of help that people appreciate, especially new parents. Help that does not endorse shaming, judgement or telling people what to do with their bodies. Help that is provided in ways that are easy, flexible, accessible and as quick as possible in order to get back to life.
Kristin and Cathy have been working together with people struggling with perinatal mental health concerns for over 10 years. They love what they do and they love doing it together even more. This website is a dream they’ve both had for the people they’ve seen in therapy for years. It is exciting to bring it to you.
You found Rooted Support for a reason – this website is an invitation to take a step and connect in a way that you feel safe and ready to do. We are constantly striving to provide support in as many ways as we can.
There are so many ways to connect and small steps to take to get where you want to be. Here are a few:
- Connect to someone you trust – talk to them about how you’re really doing.
- Connect anonymously to a larger community. See: See The Fitting Parenthood into Life Project
- Connect to yourself at your own pace. See: Free Resources
- Connect to others in a group who are going through similar things. See: Online Groups
- Connect to Kristin or Cathy in a way that fits you and your life.
