ADVOCACY
Expanding safe, legal access to psychedelic care for veterans
ADVOCATING FOR VETERANS
ACCESS TO HEALING
We are actively advancing policy change across the country at the state and federal level to expand access to psychedelic care for veterans suffering from PTSD. Through critical work with our veteran advocates and Healing Breakthrough we are working to further the movement and get as many veterans as possible the healing they deserve.
HOW WE ADVOCATE
We work at every level to expand safe, legal access to psychedelic therapies for veterans. From mobilizing veterans in their own communities to helping shape state and federal policy, our advocacy is grounded in the voices and lived experiences of the people we serve.
Veterans are some of the most powerful advocates for change. We equip veterans and their families with the tools, education, and opportunities to share their experiences, engage with policymakers, and advocate for better mental health options in their own communities.
Through local events, advocacy training, and direct engagement, we’re building a nationwide network of veteran advocates who can help move meaningful change forward from the ground up.
As states across the country explore new approaches to psychedelic policy, we work to ensure veterans have a seat at the table. HHP engages lawmakers, state agencies, coalitions, and local stakeholders to advocate for policies that create responsible, legal pathways to access.
Our goal is not simply to change laws. It’s to help build systems that reflect the real needs of veterans and make high-quality psychedelic care available closer to home.
We bring the needs and experiences of veterans directly to federal policymakers and institutions with the power to transform access at scale. Through our federal advocacy initiative, Healing Breakthrough, we engage Congress, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and other key decision makers to advance research, funding, and responsible pathways to psychedelic therapies.
Our work helps ensure that as psychedelic treatments move toward broader adoption, veterans remain at the center of the national conversation.
Veteran stories have the power to change minds, shape policy, and help others understand what’s at stake. We create opportunities for veterans to bring their lived experience into legislative hearings, meetings with policymakers, public events, media, and national conversations about psychedelic care.
By helping veterans tell their stories safely and effectively, we make sure policy discussions aren’t happening about veterans without veterans being part of them.

BREAKTHROUGH THERAPIES ACT
Heroic Hearts Project joined the Veterans’ Mental Health Leadership Coalition to support the Breakthrough Therapies Act, helped promote Colorado’s Natural Medicine Health Act, contributed to the passage of Connecticut’s Psychedelic Treatment Program through legislative testimony, and supported decriminalization and education efforts in Washington D.C., Colorado, and Oregon that led to historic reforms.
