Guided by veteran leaders and trauma experts, Project New Day delivers measurable, evidence-informed results.
“Let’s deal with the trauma, and then the addiction will take care of itself.”
“The experience for me was the first time I felt like a powerful being, worthy of love or just life.”
“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.
We equip the combat veteran community 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
We provide no-cost programs for:
Combat veterans
Combat-experienced service members
Their spouses, partners, and caregivers
Our 12-week, small-group program combines evidence-based approaches to well-being, psychology- and neuroscience-informed education, compassionate coaching, and peer connection. Participants develop a practical toolbox to improve their relationship with the past, navigate the present with greater confidence, and build a future grounded in meaning and purpose.
Our long-term goal is to partner with mission-aligned organizations, institutions, and communities to make Project New Day available throughout the combat veteran community at no cost to participants. Through collaboration, we can expand access to practical, effective support and create meaningful, measurable change nationwide.
We train and certify experienced coaches to become Project New Day Combat Veteran Master Coaches. These specialized coaches are equipped with trauma-informed skills, PTSD and addiction fundamentals, and the Project New Day coaching model to serve the combat veteran community with competence, compassion, and integrity.
By expanding our network of trained coaches, we can increase the program’s reach while maintaining fidelity to the Project New Day model.
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.
