A note from others, in case you needed it today.
Reaching out is not weakness.
Hi, we're Josie & Chloe.
We are the two that started Rooted, Josie on the left and Chloe in the middle.
We have watched friends and family members struggle with their mental health and figure out what it means to be neurodivergent. We also saw how hard it was to find honest and teen friendly information that didn't talk down to them or make them feel like they're broken.
So we built this website! Rooted is our attempt to help teenagers like us to feel a little less alone, spread awareness, and make the kind of support we wished we had found earlier.
