Welcome to Roots and Resilience Therapies, where we keep eachother accountable!

 

This space is dedicated to exploring the journey of mental health and wellness, providing insights and support for everyone. Today, we are excited to share the story behind our practice, who we aim to help, and our vision for a mentally resilient community. Whether you’re here for professional guidance or personal growth, we hope you find this blog to be a valuable resource. 

 

 

With figures like this, breaking the stigma and increasing awareness and access to care can change lives and becomes a driving force for organisations like RNR to push even more!  

RNR Therapies began as a passion project, inspired by our work in psychiatric services. We noticed that many service users came from marginalized communities, where earlier intervention and support might have prevented significant life changes, such as detention within hospitals or even the criminal justice system. We often heard similar stories of upbringing, trauma, and life experiences that profoundly affected people. Due to the stigma surrounding mental health, many felt unable to express their struggles, lacked access to support, or had their struggles minimized by those around them. 

 

This is where Roots and Resilience Therapies (RNR) stemmed from. We believe that mental health care and support should be accessible to all people, regardless of age, race, class, or background. Following the pandemic, there was a notable increase in mental health difficulties, alongside a reduction in available support. Recognising this, RNR Therapies aims to provide accessible and affordable support for all. 

 

At RNR Therapies, we aim to raise awareness and remove the stigma around mental health, creating space for open and psychologically safe discussions about all things mental health. 

At RNR Therapies, we believe that your roots and upbringing shape who you are today. That's why we take a tailored approach to all our therapies and offerings, ensuring that you receive the support you need to thrive. 

 

We do this through: 

1. Culturally sensitive therapies - tailored to your unique background and experiences. 

2. Community-minded workshops - designed to break barriers to therapy. 

3. Accessible services - for underserved communities. 

At RNR Therapies, we aim to be a service that everyone can access, with a specific focus on cultural sensitivity to meet everyone’s unique needs. Inclusivity is our key focus, regardless of your walk of life. We address generational patterns of trauma and support individuals in beginning to heal and grow. 

At RNR Therapies, we understand the importance of setting goals, manifestation and also the importance of keeping ourselves accountable. And in the same breadth that we would encourage this with our clients, we should be emphasising it within our own practice ethos and vision. 

 

So here goes...below you will find our own goals for RNR therapies. We hope that you are able to keep us as accountable as we would you. 

• Short-term (next 4 weeks): Increase our presence on social media. 

• Medium-term (next 3 months): Consistently release a monthly blog. 

• Long-term (6 months): Be in a position to bid for funding for community outreach in marginalized and underserved communities. 

 

We believe that by publicly stating our goals and revisiting these as part of our monthly blog, you too are able to see that growth can be applied to all parts of life, mental health, physical health, business, relationships, academic – ALL parts of life. 

We commit to growth and learning, frequently evolving to meet our clients' needs. We will review these goals monthly and ask that you, our followers, help keep us accountable. 

 

We also encourage you to set some short, medium and long term goals for yourself to refocus your energies into the things that truly matter to you. Sometimes life can be very distracting and we can easily lose focus on the things we value. SO here’s your opportunity to take a minute to think about how you would like to realign yourself.
