 “Let’s deal with the trauma, and then the addiction will take care of itself.”

William

“The experience for me was the first time I felt like a powerful being, worthy of love or just life.”

Some Call it a Reset Button

Addiction

“I’ve worked with hundreds of people dependent on drugs of all kinds (…) and all of these people are severely traumatized people whose drug use reflects their trauma history.”

Gabor Maté, Physician, Addiction Expert, Speaker, Best-Selling Author

Too many veterans remain trapped long after service ends, caught in cycles of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction. Substances often become a way to survive the pain of unresolved trauma, offering short-term relief while deepening long-term suffering. For many, it feels like there is no way out.

Project New Day was created to break that cycle.

Our program doesn’t just manage symptoms. It addresses the root causes of trauma. Across multiple program cohorts and studies, we have repeatedly demonstrated statistically significant reductions in PTSD-related symptoms, including depression and anxiety. Veterans leave with practical tools to navigate daily life and the confidence to move forward with clarity, strength, and purpose.

Some describe the experience as a reset. Others call it a turning point. Veterans often speak of finally releasing the weight of past experiences and rediscovering calm, connection, and hope.

This lived transformation marks the beginning of a new day, not just recovery, but renewal. It’s a journey toward a healthy mind, body, and spirit, supported by compassionate coaching and a community of peers who understand. By integrating science, human connection, and meaning-driven growth, Project New Day helps veterans turn an uncertain today into a purposeful tomorrow.

This is Project New Day

Specifically, We:

  1. Veterans: Deliver a Proven Healing Program
    We provide evidence-based programs designed specifically for combat veterans seeking to heal from PTSD, reduce depression and anxiety, and overcome addiction. Our model integrates compassionate coaching, peer support, and experiential practices to help veterans process past trauma, develop effective coping skills for daily life, and restore a strong sense of purpose for the future. Learn about our programs.

  2. Organizations: Build Partnerships to Expand Access
    Our long-term goal is to partner with mission-aligned organizations, institutions, and communities to make the Project New Day program available to every combat veteran at no cost. Through collaboration, we aim to remove financial and systemic barriers to healing and ensure that all veterans who seek support can access it. Get connected.

  3. Training: Certify Life Coaches
    We train and certify experienced coaches to become Project New Day Combat Veteran Life Master Coaches. These specialized coaches are equipped with trauma-informed skills, addiction and PTSD fundamentals, and the Project New Day coaching philosophy to serve veterans with competence, compassion, and integrity. By expanding the number of trained coaches, we increase the program’s reach while maintaining fidelity to the model. Start learning. 

The Project New Day Program emerged from our collective recognition of the deep-rooted mental health issues reaching epidemic levels in our society. At the same time, we know that positive change is attainable. We are resolute in our conviction that we can bring about a substantial improvement in the well-being of countless individuals, beginning with thousands and eventually reaching millions. Is this audacious? Indeed. Impossible? Far from it. We possess the knowledge, experience, resources, and unwavering community support required to effect this change. We understand how to reach the masses and what can make a difference.

Drawing upon our personal experience, observations, review of scientific literature, and insights gleaned from respected veterans in the field, we have developed a pioneering, teachable, and readily scalable model that seamlessly integrates life coaching, clinical psychedelic therapy, and community support.

A significant part of that community support is establishing vertical networks and using Zoom symposiums to connect compassionate thought leaders to those in need. Our overarching goal is to disseminate this model, linking donors with organizations that share our mission.

This initiative was meticulously designed to be self-scaling; rapidly, effectively, and economically expanding its reach.

This is our purpose. This is Project New Day.

What We Are

  • Project New Day is a 501(c)(3) foundation composed of dedicated officers and directors committed to sharing our integrated model for healing, growth, and thriving, at no cost.
  • Our program model is a scalable, organized, sharable template, based on our knowledge and observations.
  • We firmly believe that our knowledge-based life coaching sessions can benefit most individuals. We also maintain that structured, community meetings can be immensely valuable to the majority. Based on our observations, we are also convinced that many individuals can find benefit from clinical psychedelic treatments. Supporting our beliefs are a roster of endorsements from the most renowned figures in the psychedelic healing field, including Roland Griffiths, Gabor Maté, Mary Cosimano, Anne St. Goar, Paul Stamets, Sam Chapman, and others.
  • Ultimately, we will connect donors and organizations that align with our mission.

What We Are Not

  • Our model is not a psychotherapeutic or medical program; rather, it is an initiative aimed at disseminating knowledge to improve the life performance of anyone, including those grappling with addiction and trauma, by way of life coaching, online community meetings, and, when suitable and legal, psychedelic therapy.
  • Project New Day does not provide psychological or medical treatment, or recommend or administer psychedelic therapy to anyone. The responsibility for this falls on other organizations that adopt our model, guided by legal and professional statutes along with individual suitability assessments conducted on a case-by-case basis.
  • Our directorial staff members are not medical practitioners, addiction specialists, or trauma experts. Instead, we view ourselves as concerned citizens who are willing to effectively organize and disseminate knowledge, drawing upon the advice of experts across various fields who possess experience in addiction, trauma, and healing.

We strongly believe that, when employed appropriately, our program model can assist people in overcoming unresolved trauma, enabling them to lead lives of freedom, purpose, and fulfillment.
