Care Starts With Connection
Healthcare can be difficult to navigate, especially when stigma, cost, access, or past experiences create barriers. Rooted Care Institute provides nonclinical education, navigation, and referral support designed to help you understand your options, connect with trusted resources, and move forward with confidence.
OUR SERVICES
HIV Prevention Education & PrEP/PEP Navigation
Clear, culturally responsive information about HIV prevention, PrEP, PEP, routine testing, sexual health, and risk reduction. When clinical services, testing, or prescriptions are needed, we connect you with qualified providers and community partners.
Behavioral Health & Wellness Connection
We help you identify affirming mental health, emotional wellness, and social-support resources that respect your identity and lived experience. Rooted Care Institute does not provide psychotherapy, diagnosis, or medical treatment; we connect you with qualified professionals when clinical care is needed.
HIV Care Navigation & Support Services
Personalize support for people living with HIV, newly diagnosed individuals, long-term survivors, and those returning to care. We help you identify your care options, understand available resources, prepare for next steps, and stay connection to support.
Community Education & Empowerment
Workshops, community conversations, outreach, and educational resources focused on HIV, health equity, prevention, stigma reduction, and access to care. Our goal is to strengthen knowledge, confidence, and community connections.
Rooted Care Institute is committed to creating safe, affirming, and culturally responsive spaces for men of color and underserved communities impacted by HIV, health disparities, stigma, and gaps in care. Our services are rooted in compassion, education, advocacy, and whole person wellness.
We understand that healthcare is not just about treatment. It is also about trust, access, dignity, and being cared for by people who understand your lived experience. Rooted Care Institute was created to help individuals feel seen, supported, and empowered as they navigate their health journey.
