How we began

The Onsite Foundation was founded by a group of like-minded individuals who witnessed the profound, life-changing effect that access to best-in-class trauma-informed counseling and therapies had on individuals, relationships, and communities. These emotional wellness pioneers established The Onsite Foundation in an effort to give the gift of healing to people and communities most affected by trauma and who could not otherwise afford it.

The Onsite Foundation has helped countless individuals, couples, and families by curating programs and initiatives for underserved communities. 

These programs have been made possible thanks to generous donations from individuals, organizations, and corporations all over the world, who share the same passion and vision.

Life After Loss: Healing for Grieving Parents

This healing program was curated to help parents who have experienced inexpressible grief following the loss of a child. Parents learn how to navigate their individual grief process and stages of grief, including depression, guilt, and anger. The goal is never to get over the grief but to learn how to build a life around the grief so one will no longer feel stuck.

Triumph Over Tragedy: Healing for Survivors of Mass Shootings

This first-of-its-kind program was designed by Onsite’s clinical team to support survivors of mass shootings, helping them to better understand the impact that overwhelming, life-threatening experiences have on a physical, psychological, emotional, and physiological level.

Hope and Healing for Heroes: Resources for the Covenant School Shooting

This special event for educators and staff across Metro Nashville was created to equip, encourage, and uplift our Nashville school’s educators, staff, and administrators following the tragedy at The Covenant School. Programming included musical performances by Nashville and GRAMMY Winning Artists Lauren Daigle, Tyler Hubbard, CeCe Winans, and Trisha Yearwood.

Alum Story

  • I can’t thank you enough. Without this program, I wouldn’t be alive.
    –Triumph Over Tragedy Alum

  • Prior to the Onsite Foundation’s Triumph Over Tragedy program, I felt like anxiety and depression would always loom over me and dictate my response to things happening in my life. What should have been exciting, new transitions in life were instead still highlighting my fragile sense of security, even nine years after surviving a mass shooting. I left the Triumph Over Tragedy program with a better awareness of my emotional responses and gained tools to reference when those same triggers feel larger than I can handle. I am extremely thankful for the dots I was finally able to connect to grieve the old version of me that was left behind that unimaginable night. To find a safe space to share my pain and fears with a group that truly understands is a rare gift.

    Triumph Over Tragedy Alum
  • In intimate groups with other grieving parents, I was able to shift my grief, hurt for others, hear their pain, and want to add to their experience. It never occurred to me that grief should be shared. The Onsite Foundation not only afforded me a new beginning, but the ability to see that grief is a choice, and how I walk with it is a choice. I have chosen to trust, to love, to share, and to give.
