A fairly new Chillicothe downtown shop also offers mental health. "Dauntless Roots" at 13 West Second Street offers plants, handcrafted items from women-owned businesses, canine companionship...and support for the mind.
Kate Smith opened her shop in August and offers monthly gatherings there, "Mental Health Matters Night."
October was on anxiety, November was survivors of suicide, December was boundaries and burnout...and for the resolution the month of January, "A Fresh Start" was the theme on Wednesday night.
Smith draws from her own struggles to give a positive purpose for the shop, that grew out of her gardening hobby. Along with her two dogs, she also keeps it a child-friendly place.
