Heal The Warrior Tribe World

Our MISSION is to end veteran suicide. One warrior at a time.

We work to help combat veterans and first responders heal the invisible wounds of PTSD, reconnect to the path of the heart, and rediscover purpose.

We provide a path for veterans and first responders to access life-saving plant medicine therapy, along with coaching and integration.

Who We Serve

The Coming Home Project is dedicated to serving combat veterans of the United States Military, first responders, and their families, including Gold Star families.

We work 
every day to end veteran suicide by helping our Nation’s warriors find a path to true healing: coming home.

Why We Serve

We are combat veterans who have fought our own battles with PTSD. We have seen its damage firsthand, in our lives and in the lives of friends, families, and communities. We have walked the healing path with plant medicines and witnessed its power to truly heal the mind, heart, and spirit.

As a group, veterans experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder at more than twice the rate of the general population. The suicide rate among veterans is twice the rate of the civilian population, and for women veterans it is more than two and a half times higher.

Research indicates that these numbers undercount the size of the problem. America’s Warrior Partnership estimates that as many as 44 veterans a day are lost to suicide and self-injury.

If you or a veteran you love is in crisis, call 988 and press 1, or text 838255.

How We Serve

The Coming Home Project provides grants, guidance, and assistance to support veterans and first responders seeking plant medicine-assisted therapy in jurisdictions where it is legally available.

These retreats utilize traditional plant medicines, primarily ayahuasca and psilocybin, within a traditional medicine ceremony. Veterans and first responders participate together in the ceremony.

Prospective participants are screened to ensure medical and psychological fitness. Our partners provide pre-ceremony coaching and guidance. After the retreat, we provide ongoing integration support through our Tools of Integration program.

Your support is critical to this mission. 

THE MEDICINE

Plant medicine is an ancient path to healing. At The Coming Home Project, veterans and first responders walk it together, with others who know the path. Preparation comes first. Integration comes after. The ceremony is one part of the journey.

GROUNDED IN
COMMUNITY

By participating in a shared communal journey we come to understand that our struggles are not unique. We lighten the burden by sharing with others who walk the same path.
