Who We Are

True Trauma, True Healing

True Trauma, True Healing is more than an organization—it’s a movement dedicated to breaking the silence surrounding trauma and empowering individuals, families, and communities to heal.

We believe that trauma does not define who you are. Your story may explain where you’ve been, but it does not determine where you’re going. Through education, honest conversations, lived experience, and faith-inspired hope, we help people move from surviving to thriving.

Founded by Russell Little, speaker, author, educator, and trauma advocate, True Trauma, True Healing was created to transform pain into purpose. Russell’s personal journey of overcoming adversity has become the foundation for a mission that reaches individuals through powerful speaking engagements, community outreach, educational workshops, books, and Trauma Talk discussions.

Our Mission

To increase trauma awareness, reduce stigma surrounding mental health, educate communities about the lasting effects of trauma, and provide hope, practical tools, and encouragement that inspire healing and lasting transformation.

What We Do

• Trauma Education – Helping individuals, organizations, schools, churches, and communities understand the impact of trauma and pathways to healing.

• Trauma Talk – Safe, honest conversations that encourage healing, resilience, and connection through shared experiences.

• Community Outreach – Partnering with local organizations to promote wellness, recovery, and trauma-informed communities.

• Speaking Engagements – Inspiring audiences through powerful presentations on trauma, resilience, recovery, faith, leadership, and personal growth.

• Books & Resources – Providing life-changing books and educational materials, including Diary of a Bad Ass Husband and other resources designed to encourage healing, restoration, and hope.

• Advocacy – Raising awareness about mental health, childhood trauma, addiction recovery, domestic violence, and the importance of breaking generational cycles.

Our Vision

We envision a world where people no longer suffer in silence, where trauma is met with compassion instead of judgment, and where every individual has access to education, support, and hope.

Our goal is to create communities that understand trauma, support healing, and empower people to live healthier, stronger, and more purposeful lives.

Our Message

Healing is possible.

Hope is real.

Your trauma is part of your story—but it is not your identity.

Together, we can break cycles, restore lives, and build stronger communities—one conversation, one family, and one life at a time.

True Trauma. True Healing. Real Hope. Lasting Change.
