Placement & Service Inquiries

At Roots of Unity, we aim to make the referral and intake process as smooth and responsive as possible for agencies and partners.

How Our Process Works

1. Initial Contact: Complete our online contact form and provide a brief overview of the youth’s needs, level of support required, and any relevant background information.

2. Review & Follow-Up: Our team will review your inquiry and connect with you to gather additional details, discuss program fit, and answer any questions.

3. Referral & Intake:
Once initial discussions take place, a formal referral form will be provided (and will soon be available directly on our website). This allows us to ensure we have all necessary information to support a safe and appropriate placement.

4. Placement Coordination:
If the placement is a good fit, we will work collaboratively with your team to coordinate timelines, expectations, and a smooth transition into one of our homes.

Smudging uses various medicines such as sage to create a cleansing smoke that is meant to heal the mind, body and spirit. As the smoke rises, our negative energy and feelings are lifted away. Smudging may also be used to cleanse rooms or Mother Earth before ceremonies and special events, and may also be used to purify ceremonial objects such as an eagle feather. To take part in a smudge, participants stand in a circle while an Elder or First Nations person will move from person to person with a feather and a smudge bowl. Upon your turn, cup the smoke in your hands and waft it over yourself to cleanse your body, (much like how you would use water to cleanse your hands and face).
