a trauma-informed vision for the future of our communities
On Purpose Trauma-informed Care (OPTIC) is a nonprofit organization established in 2021 as a critical response to the rising mental health crisis facing our communities and the lack of resources that are currently available. OPTIC was formed with the understanding that as we educate our community members on how to manage toxic stress and unresolved trauma, we will begin to support each other and heal collectively to rebuild our communities from the hearts out.
The mission of OPTIC is to rebuild healthy communities by providing education, training and resources to our community members and healthcare professionals.

Business & Industry
OPTIC’s goal is to change industry standards to accommodate for what it means to be human in an extremely high-stress world and still be successful.
Stress and anxiety becomes debilitating and can wreak havoc in the workplace. Our training takes a brain science approach to understanding the individual stress response and how we can take back control of our emotions and overall wellness.

Healthcare Professionals
The mental health crisis has left many healthcare professionals with a long waitlist and an overwhelming pressure to accommodate for the rise in need.
OPTIC has partnered with a talented group of individuals currently conducting industry research to provide better ways for mental health professionals to collaborate with other healthcare professionals and streamline community accessibility.
