About the Rooted Collaborative Initiative 

Our vision for the community wellness hub aligns with neighborhood goals by offering a wide range of services and resources that address the holistic well-being of residents.

Our Mission

Empowerment Through Healing

Rooted Collaborative St. Paul exists to bridge the gap in culturally responsive healthcare services for the BIPOC community. Our mission is to create a safe, inclusive, and healing environment where community members can access vital mental health and addiction resources tailored to their needs. By addressing these services holistically, we aim to foster a sense of community, connection, and resilience.

We believe in the transformative power of culturally relevant care. Our vision is to establish Rooted Collaborative as a community hub where individuals can break down barriers to healthcare access, receive comprehensive support, and contribute to the well-being of future generations. Rooted Collaborative will serve as a model for how intentional care can uplift and empower entire communities.
