Root Reason
August 31, 2019
We are excited to announce our newest campaign to highlight our rebranding on social media! We chose the hashtag: #RootReason to share and highlight what our team does best, and why we do it! We will be coming to your clinic with some fun photo opportunities to share some of the important day to day reasons we all choose behavioral health and substance use. #RootReason will be launched this month to coincide with International Overdose Awareness day which the agency will observe on 8/28/2019. What better way to share your story with the world? Why do you do the work that you do? We want your #RootReason!

The Root Center is excited to announce our first ever CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT! However, this charity golf tournament won’t be to benefit Root… on September 25th, 2025, we will host a charity golf outing at Lyman Orchards in Middlefield, CT, to benefit St. Vincent de Paul Middletown . Root Center feels strongly about nonprofits supporting nonprofits, and we are thankful for the work St. Vincent de Paul Middletown performs to help the residents in our state, particularly in Middletown, where Root Center proudly operates two sites. Many Root Center patients benefit from their critical services, and we are proud to support such an important mission helping some of the most marginalized members of our community. So, dust off those clubs, and get ready to play for a great cause! More information on signing up and sponsoring coming soon!
