Helping Families Thrive in the Midst of Challenging Seasons
Rooted Families provides a haven of support where caregivers and children feel seen, known, and cared for.
Providing Targeted Tools and Support to Strengthen Families
Through training, coaching, and therapeutic groups, caregivers and professionals are equipped to understand the "why" behind challenging behaviors and respond in ways that strengthen connection, build resilience, and foster healing.
Connection-Centered Support for Every Child
Meaningful connection is key when caring for children with complex behavioral needs. Through the use of Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) and other trauma-informed approaches, we train caregivers and professionals on how to set limits, correct behaviors, and teach children social-emotional skills while keeping connection strong. Ultimately, these interventions reduce challenging behaviors and build resilience.
