What we offer…
Rooted Advocates offers direct patient advocacy and systems navigation while also serving as a community-rooted resource that helps people connect, build capacity, and advocate for more just and responsive systems.
Our work is grounded in lived experience, deep listening, and a commitment to ensuring that no one has to navigate complex systems alone.
Services are offered on a donation basis. Give what you can!
Community Building via Supportive Spaces
We host inclusive, community-based peer support groups focused on mental health, trauma recovery, and life transitions. These include:
Parents of medically complex children
Individuals managing financial stress
LGBTQ+ community members
Survivors of trauma and chronic stress
General mental wellness circles
Each group incorporates trauma-informed, culturally relevant practices and community-led facilitation.
Cultural Healing & Identity Exploration
We offer programs that guide individuals in exploring their cultural and ancestral identities through:
Screenings and discussion circles of impactful media including narrative documentaries and other works
Art-based healing circles (painting, visual storytelling, collage)
Music therapy sessions and rhythm-based group experiences
Horticulture and gardening groups as metaphors for grounding and growth
These experiences are designed to promote emotional safety, self-discovery, and connection.
Health Advocacy & Resource Access
Rooted Advocates cultivates a community-led network to offer you:
A personal health advocate that will listen, interpret complex medical information, follow up with insurance or provider, line up resources, manage appointments, attend appointments, etc.
Community based resources for individual or family needs including:
Local mental health providers, support services, and financial counselors
Mentorship on building social capital
Peer mentors and community elders
This network functions as both a support system and an ecosystem of empowerment, with a focus on dignity, equity, and cultural validation.
