about OnPurpose
people are created for connection.
We are not meant to go through emotional distress alone.
OnPurpose has the staff, resources, and support that youth and their families need. Many of us became therapists and social workers after our own experiences with trauma. We know healing is possible because we’ve lived through it ourselves.
Our Mission
We help youth and families find hope,
healing, and purpose.
Our Vision
We envision a day when all communities are equipped to live successful and purpose-filled lives.
