Heroic Hearts Project

Heroic Hearts Project is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2017 and headquartered in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Its mission is to help U.S. military veterans heal from trauma—including PTSD, military sexual trauma, severe depression, and anxiety—by providing access to psychedelic-assisted therapy through retreat programs, research, advocacy, training, and education.

The organization offers legal retreat options in Oregon as well as international retreats in countries where psychedelic medicines are permitted. Its reach extends beyond the United States, with branches operating in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Through a dedicated program called The Hope Project, Heroic Hearts also supports veteran spouses and family members experiencing secondary PTSD and related impacts.

On the research and advocacy side, Heroic Hearts Project partners with the Center for Psychedelic Research and Therapy at Dell Medical School, University of Texas at Austin, and contributes to the growing evidence base for psychedelic therapies. Its advocacy arm, Healing Breakthrough, works to expand pathways to these treatments within health systems and push for legislative reform.

The organization holds a 91% score on Charity Navigator and has earned a Four-Star rating, reflecting its credibility and financial transparency. Innovations in psychedelic therapy, veteran mental health care, and evidence-based trauma treatment are directly relevant to its core mission.
