Our stance on veteran care
Oftentimes, beyond simply not knowing where to go for support and resources, military and emergency responders hesitate to reach out as a result of concerns that include being viewed as less competent by the very communities they serve and ramifications that could even prevent them from being able to continue in their field.
CPPS is committed to addressing these barriers. We will welcome a robust resource “center” that military and emergency responders can access anonymously. Resources will include education, talks, professional services, support services, recommended readings, and self-development around a variety of topics and needs, including but not limited to new developments in the psychedelic medicine space.
In addition, CPPS is committed to hosting military and first responder specific events, creating space where like-minded and like-experienced individuals are able to come together for support and connection.
here are some organizations already doing great work
VETS
Their mission is to end the veteran suicide epidemic by providing resources, research, and advocacy for U.S. military veterans seeking psychedelic-assisted therapies for traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), addiction, and other health conditions.
Heroic Hearts Project
Heroic Hearts Project (HHP) exists to help veterans and their loved ones heal from the impacts of military trauma by providing and expanding access to effective, life-saving psychedelic care. Through direct programs, community support, education, research, and policy advocacy, we address the urgent needs of the veteran community while driving long-term change to make this care more widely available.

You will learn how psychedelics may work in the brain to heal neural circuits and improve cognitive functioning, how to integrate psychedelic experiences, and how to support family members before, during, and after psychedelic experiences.
