Empowering Our Heroes by Healing Minds and Restoring Lives
In the battlefields of their minds, many veterans and first responders endure silent struggles against debilitating mental health issues including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury, depression and anxiety. The Invictus Project is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that steps into the fray to procure scholarship funds for groundbreaking mental healthcare that rebuilds, restores and ultimately saves lives.
Invest in the lives of our veterans and first responders for a brighter future.
The Invictus Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works directly with veterans and first responders to improve the way we approach and treat mental health. These individuals have bravely served their country and communities and now they need us to help them to successfully reintegrate. By securing access to mental healthcare treatments that many vets and first responders can’t obtain or afford, we act as a catalyst to help patients suffering from PTSD, TBI, anxiety and depression, explore new and effective methods. Through our mission to serve, we gather data in the hopes to impact policy change within our government and fuse the current financial gaps.
Sam Peterson, Founder
Founded by veterans for veterans
In late 2014, following multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, the founders of the Invictus Project of Colorado, Sam Peterson and Jeffrey Haugland, found themselves feeling both mentally and physically exhausted. Soon after their own interactions with what is a deeply frustrating process, a multitude of case studies was released proving the ineffectiveness of prescription medication to treat PTSD, anxiety and suicidal ideations. This information and an empathy for the trials of tribulations that we know many service members endure, just like we did, spurred a new mission, to help other vets and first responders find care that yields real results.
In thanks to our generous donors, we are curating scholarship funds to give service men and women the opportunity to receive necessary and long-lasting care that will reshape the future they truly deserve.
Mental Health Treatments we fund
We provide access to innovative and revolutionary treatment options that include: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, ketamine infusion therapy, psychedelic intervention and more, new emerging therapies. By bridging the gap, we hope to restore and empower life-changing transformations that prevent the on-going tragedy of service member suicide.
