Hope Roots

The Hope Roots mission is to increase access to trauma-informed mental health services...

Mission Statement: Our mission is to increase access to trauma-informed mental health services through training, partnerships, and trauma therapy. In the U.S., we operate a trauma therapy practice based on our guiding principles that serves trauma survivors by ensuring that the individuals most in need of trauma therapy are not left waiting for care due to financial limitations, cultural bias, or

stigma. Internationally, we partner with like-minded organizations working to transform mental health systems through trauma-informed care and access to training. Vision Statement: To end cycles of violence and injustice through trauma healing. Rigorous and hopeful, we build practical strategies for access to mental health training and services, break cycles of trauma and violence, and advocate for survivors and community service providers. Our Guiding Principles:

Equitable Access - The best trauma-informed care and therapy should be available to those who need it the most, not just those who can pay the most. We strive to make effective trauma therapy interventions available to all who are seeking services. Nonviolence - We work to end cycles of violence through trauma healing and nonviolent social action. We believe trauma therapy prevents violence from being passed on to the next generation. Everyone working in areas of law enforcement, social services, and health care should be skilled at recognizing abuse and empowering victims. Relational-Cultural Therapy Modalities - We recognize power dynamics, relational-cultural issues, and bias in health systems and strive for feminist, strengths-based, egalitarian therapy and therapeutic relationships including client empowerment and social justice advocacy. Trauma & Neuroscience-Informed - We seek, promote, and create access to the latest trauma treatment modalities. We believe in empowering clients with neuroscience-informed psychoeducation so that they can be experts in their own mental health and view their symptoms as adaptations to stress and trauma over their lifespan, rather than a disease. Collaborative Care - We desire a transformative therapy-team based approach where mental health providers with different skills and training regularly consult and collaborate for the best client care outcomes. We value and seek collaboration with other community organizations, service providers, and community workers. Our Story

Hope Roots began in 2014 with a group of trauma-informed and socially conscious yogis who wanted to support projects in India that were empowering women and serving trauma survivors. After the first Holistic Tools for Trauma workshops in 2016, Hope Roots began to focus on serving trauma survivors and training nonprofessionals in trauma-informed care. In 2021, Hope Roots opened a therapy office in Fort Collins, Colorado, and began direct therapy services. Through our yearly summer fundraiser, Henna for Hope, we hope to create awareness about the imprint of trauma globally and raise funds for projects that will continue to improve access to evidence-based care.

About the Mindful Movement Group: For humans of all genders, ages 18 and beyond, wanting to explore your relationship with your internal system through movement and mindfulness activities. This is a soft container to hold yourself in deep care as each of us notice what happens within our internal world as we practice state changes and learn how to strengthen our body-mind connection. The beginning of group is for tune-ins and shares on how you are arriving in your body. The middle of group is dedicated to movements and mindfulness invitations. The facilitator offers participants opportunities to zoom in and zoom out of your waking life thoughts, feelings, emotions, stories, and felt senses of your body with gentle movements and layers of awareness while standing, sitting, and laying down. Then we transition to rest that includes a meditation to allow for a settling and rest of the internal system featuring words and sounds from musical instruments. The closing of group is available for check outs to those who want to process what arrived during group. This group is open (not required to attend every session) and current Hope Roots clients are welcome to attend after joining me for a 30 minute introductory meeting. Please contact me with any questions or if you would like to join the mindful movement group at Hope Roots - Colorado Medicaid (all regions) and private payment options available.

Sarah Joseph (she/her) with Hope Roots is a panelist for our upcoming Mental Health Panel.

She has experience in helping clients develop a mind-body connection - learning how stress, trauma, and emotions are felt and held in the body. Her approach allows the client freedom to explore how their nervous system has adapted to handle trauma and stress throughout their lifetime. This awareness leads to healing and helps facilitate trauma reprocessing. She uses EMDR therapy to help clients process the residual imprints of trauma that often cause anxiety, depression, anger issues, and chronic health problems.

Join Sarah and our other panelists on May 7th at 11:30 am at the Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce
