Compassionate Care. Inclusive Solutions. Lasting Impact.
At ROOTS & BELONGING, we believe that mental health care should honor who you are, where you come from, and the unique journey you are on. Our work bridges cultures, communities, and systems—offering both direct support to individuals and families, and practical guidance to organizations serving diverse populations. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges (mental health services) or seeking to create more inclusive programs in your organization (consulting services), we provide culturally grounded, trauma-informed services designed to build resilience, connection, and lasting change.

Mental Health Support for Immigrants & Diverse Communities With You Every Step of the Way
CEO DENISE MITCHELL, MSW, RSW, PMP
As an immigrant, mental health leader, and community strategist, I understand firsthand what it means to navigate systems that were not originally designed with us in mind. My journey from my roots in Grenada to leading mental health and recovery programs in Indigenous communities and across Alberta, has taught me the value of culturally grounded care, the strength found in lived experience, and the importance of walking alongside others with compassion through times of change.
Whether supporting youth, collaborating with nonprofit leaders, or working alongside Indigenous and immigrant communities, my purpose remains constant: to help people feel seen, heard, and supported, while building sustainable systems for healing and growth.
We empower individuals and guide organizations toward healing and hope.
