SOCOM CARE COALITION
https://www.socom.mil/care-coalition
“They made a promise to us when they joined, whatever Service they joined, and then they made another promise to us when they came in as Special Operations and we’re making a promise to them, that we’re going to be with them for the rest of their lives if anything happens to them and we’re going to help take care of their families as well.”
-Quote from the USSOCOM Commander at Care Coalition founding in 2005
THE MISSION WITHIN
At The Mission Within, we are dedicated to creating a better world in which our heroes and their families find purpose, healing, and growth through community. We believe healing the family will create a future free of veteran suicide.
We recognize that to create this new world, we need to bring the transformational effects of Ibogaine, 5-MeO-DMT & Psilocybin to the veteran community at large through proven clinical pathways.
We then complement these pathways with expert-led pre-retreat preparation & post-retreat integration activities to harness the true transformational power of these sacred medicines.
Since 2017, we have successfully provided treatment for PTSD and mTBI to over 600 special operations veterans and their spouses. Many of which present with complex cases of mTBI, PTSD, depression & anxiety. Both participants and their therapists report significant improvement in their condition, with as many as 80% no longer meeting the diagnostic criteria for PTSD.
If you are a veteran exploring treatment solutions, please read on to learn more about our approach, our impact, our team and our process.

MICHAEL STRANGE FOUNDATION
In Honor of CTR1 Michael StrangeThe Michael Strange Foundation will provide unconditional support and services to the families of recently fallen service members by professionals in several fields and also by those who have suffered similar losses so that the healing process can begin.
It is our experience that there is an overwhelming outpouring of support initially, but it is the following months that are the most difficult when the ceremonies fade away and there is a lack of people who truly understand what it means to suffer such a devastating and traumatic loss.
