DAV applauds the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for launching a new trial evaluating MDMA-assisted therapy for veterans living with PTSD and alcohol use disorder. Far too many veterans continue to struggle with the invisible wounds of war, often after exhausting traditional treatment options. Veterans deserve access to every safe, evidence-based tool that may help them heal, and this study represents an important step forward in better understanding the role psychedelics could play in veteran mental health care.

Are you trapped by a label? Many veterans combatting PTSD, complex trauma, and moral injury feel stuck in a narrative that tells them they are broken. But what if the starting point to true healing was entirely different?

Together, they explore a radical, holistic shift in veteran care that moves away from internalized pain and toward inherent goodness.

Discover how specialized spiritual, therapeutic, and psychedelic-assisted care is giving veterans the agency to reclaim their lives, process deep trauma, and find joy moving forward. Listen to the full episode:
