Our Story

OPTIC is an acronym (and a play on words). It stands for On Purpose Trauma-Informed Care. The acronym OPTIC was chosen because of our passion for changing perspective. 

Established in 2021, OPTIC is a nonprofit organization that addresses the growing mental health crisis impacting our communities, as well as the lack of available resources. We believe that by educating community members about managing toxic stress and unresolved trauma, we can support one another and heal collectively, thereby rebuilding our communities and creating a brighter, healthier future from the heart out. 

Our Mission

To shift the collective viewpoint on mental wellness and create a more accessible and compassionate healthcare system. From individual perspectives to systemic issues within our communities, OPTIC strives to break barriers and stigmas that are limiting our ability to see the solution.

What We Do

We provide trauma-informed education, support, and resources to help individuals and communities thrive.
