At the Mission Within Foundation, we transform the lives of veterans and first responders through groundbreaking, evidence-based mental health treatments. We’re dedicated to providing access to psychedelic therapy, to help those who have sacrificed so much.

Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy

We provide scholarships for transformative treatments like psilocybin and ibogaine therapy for veterans and first responders.

Training and Education

Equipping healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills to administer psychedelic-assisted therapy safely and effectively.

Research & Data Collection

We collaborate with leading institutions to gather critical data on the efficacy and safety of psychedelic-assisted therapy.

OUR MISSION & VISION

We support the brave individuals who have served and sacrificed so much for others. We provide access to healing and recovery through groundbreaking, evidence-based therapies that restore mental health, resilience, and overall well-being. Through scholarships for psychedelic-assisted therapy, we empower veterans and first responders challenged by trauma, neurological challenges, PTSD, and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) to regain control of their lives.

We envision a world free of veterans’ and first responders’ suicide, where those in need can access safe, effective healing.
