The need for better veteran care is overwhelming. Policy must change to meet it. As Amber Capone highlighted at the Texas Ibogaine Initiative Press Conference, demand for psychedelic-assisted therapy is skyrocketing. Applications to our programs have surged over 400% in the first few months of 2025-a clear sign of the urgent demand for more effective treatment options. The Texas Ibogaine Initiative-HB 3717 is a crucial step toward meeting this need. This bill aims to fund research and improve access to psychedelic-assisted therapy across the state. By leading the charge in responsible policy reform, we can ensure veterans have access to the innovative treatments they deserve. 🔔 How you can help: ✅ Share this post to spread the word! ✅ Learn more about the Texas Ib0gaine Initiative: bit.ly/vetshb3717 ✅ Support policy to expand psychedel!c research and access with a donation to VETS: vetsolutions.org/donate

Women in the military community carry so much. Whether on the frontlines or holding it down at home, female veterans and military spouses face burnout, stress, and trauma with powerful resilience. But resilience shouldn’t mean going at it alone. In her latest blog, VETS Women’s Program Director Breanna Caldwell explores how self-care isn’t selfish-it’s foundational. From setting boundaries to finding community, she reminds us that healing starts within. 💛 When women invest in their well-being, they build stronger families, relationships, and futures. 👉 Head to the blog to read the full piece: https://lnkd.in/eHvWtyV9 Lauren Eckert Myers #WomenWhoLead #WomenWhoServed #MilitarySpouse #Healing #VETS #Nonprofit

A powerful day of advocacy in Austin. 🤝 Last week, VETS led a Legislative Day of Action at the Texas Capitol, joined by veterans and advocates in support of the Texas Ibogaine Initiative (HB 3717)-a bill that aims to fund research on ibogaine-assisted therapy. The day began with a press conference, where VETS CEO and Co-founders, Marcus Capone and Amber Capone emphasized the devastating reality of the veteran suicide crisis and urged policymakers to act swiftly in supporting alternative, evidence-based approaches to care. Throughout the day, the VETS team and supporters met with legislators to share both the science and personal stories behind psychedelic-assisted therapies. Our time in Texas concluded with a private screening of In Waves and War—a powerful documentary that follows Marcus Capone and fellow former Navy SEALs DJ Shipley and Matty Roberts as they navigate their healing journeys through ibogaine-assisted therapy. The screening was followed by an insightful panel discussion featuring Dr. Nolan Williams-who led the Stanford University ibogaine study in collaboration with VETS-alongside Marcus and Amber, W. Bryan Hubbard, Matty Roberts, Robert Gallery, and film director Jon Shenk. Together, they explored the science, personal transformation, and urgent need to expand access to psychedelic therapies for veterans. We’re grateful to the lawmakers and supporters who showed up, listened, and are helping to transform veteran care.

💬 “This is a crisis of unimaginable proportions—and it’s largely avoidable.” Last week, at the Texas Ibogaine Initiative Press Conference, VETS CEO and Co-founder Amber Capone delivered a powerful message: 🔹 The veteran suicide epidemic is a preventable crisis and it must be addressed through responsible policy change. 🔹 Veterans are urgently seeking psychedelic-assisted therapies with compounds such as ibogaine as an alternative to failed traditional treatments for service-related conditions. But VETS alone cannot meet the growing demand. 🔹 HB 3717-the Texas Ibogaine Initiative-would open the door to psychedelic research, help expand safe clinical access in Texas, and set the standard for other states to follow. 🔔 How you can help: ✅ Share this post to spread the word! ✅ Learn more about the Texas Ib0gaine Initiative: bit.ly/vetshb3717 ✅ Support policy to expand psychedel!c research and access with a donation to VETS: vetsolutions.org/donate
