Let's talk about the JOURNEY TO HEALING
Our mission is to help youth and their families find hope and purpose beyond trauma.
Research shows that children who have experienced abuse or other forms of trauma are at significantly higher risk of developing mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Our organization is dedicated to guiding youth and their families beyond trauma into a life filled with love, community, and purpose.

Almost half (46%) of Houston families are living below the poverty level. Many are uninsured and dealing with trauma, stress, and mental anguish.
Grant funding only takes us so far in our mission to support individuals on their journey to healing and self-sufficiency. We have a very strong reputation in our communities and with our partners. These are just some of the assets that have set us up to lead, expand, and sustain our movement. We need help from companies and people like you to help us grow and continue to make a difference.

OnPurpose president & ceo
Renae Johnson, MPA, PhD (candidate)
As the founder of OnPurpose, I am profoundly moved by the journey we have embarked on over the last nine years. Our achievements fill me with gratitude, and the potential for what lies ahead ignites my excitement even further. Inspired by my passion to expand access of mental health services and heal trauma. Through our efforts, children and families are finding relief, embracing life with purpose, and building resilience.
It is our fervent hope that by adopting a holistic approach to support, we can offer individuals—especially those in underserved communities—a chance at healing and self-sufficiency. This vision is deeply rooted in the belief that “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Psalms 147:3), and that through faith and action, we can “bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2).
Our foundation is robust, and we are poised for continued, mindful growth that prioritizes the well-being of those we serve. As you learn more about the essence and impact of OnPurpose, I hope you feel inspired to join us, whether as a partner or donor, in our mission to nurture human flourishing beyond trauma. Together, guided by scripture and a shared vision for healing, we can make a significant difference in the lives of many, guiding them towards a future where they can thrive, on purpose.
