You deserve to live in the world you envision.

Working for social change takes a lot of time and energy. Sometimes, it feels like rolling a boulder uphill in an ice storm. In those moments, we are more likely to see the signs of burnout, but burnout doesn’t come on suddenly. It builds over time.

Rooted Respite’s goal is to help you see the signs much sooner so you can get the support you need before you need it. We are trauma-informed and keep your psychological safety at the forefront of what we do. 

Another world is possible; let’s build it together.
