We had an amazing time at the 2026 Advancing the Field of Alternative Response Convening! Having the opportunity to connect with leaders in the field and learn from the experiences, challenges, and successes of established programs was invaluable.

During Operation Metro Surge, RWC launched a free therapy line for affected individuals.
We are proud to have contributed to Human Rights Watch's report, which details the impact that the widespread abuse at the hands of ICE agents has had on our community.

As we celebrate Pride, we must acknowledge how traditional models of mental health care have not been designed with LGBTQ+ people in mind. At RWC, we take a different approach. At the forefront of our treatment is the understanding that systemic factors shape mental health #pride

Health care shouldn’t disappear when insurance coverage does. As more families face loss of Medicaid and barriers to therapy, the need for accessible, culturally rooted support continues to grow.

Housing, food security, and mental health care are essential to recovering from the devastating effects of the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. Thank you for your support. We couldn’t do this work without you all.

Housing and food security are essential to recovering from the devastating effects of ICE occupation. We deliver food to nearly a dozen families weekly, provide rental support, and rapid response therapy, but funds are running out. We cannot do this alone. www.givemn.org/story/kue44g

Immediate openings in our virtual IOP for substance use. As we also expand into northern counties and rural areas with ARMHS services and virtual therapy, the real and dire substance use concerns in rural areas cannot be denied.

Thank you, @minnpost.bsky.social for sharing the stories of those on the ground, and how the "Big Beautiful Bill" is hurting the people who are trying to survive on very little, people who depend on Medicaid for their healthcare.

Without support, we will be forced to end this program, cutting off a lifeline for families navigating fear, trauma, and uncertainty. Because of donors like you, we’ve been able to continue longer than expected. Help us keep going.

When ICE came to our city, we launched a free therapy line for affected families. Our Rapid Response hotline has since helped 100+ people, including children as young as 5. Now, funding is running out. Let's keep this lifeline going. Donation link in bio.

We are offering FREE therapy for individuals and families impacted by ICE. No insurance. No cost. Just care.

We’re also raising funds for rapid-response therapy, rent support, and rides to safety, court, and appointments.

Healing is liberation. Recovery is a radical act.

At Roots Wellness Center, we support individuals and families navigating trauma, addiction, and systemic harm.

We go beyond treating symptoms, working intentionally to interrupt cycles and help people reclaim their lives.
