Dear High Science Family & Community,
We’re reaching out to share details about an initiative close to our hearts, one that could transform the lives of veterans in need of support. In partnership with Cannim and the Veterans Advocacy and Health Association (VAHA), we’re launching a campaign that gives hope to veterans suffering from PTSD and mental health challenges. Your involvement is crucial to the success of this campaign, and together, we can make a meaningful difference.
The Why: Addressing Veteran Suicide
Veteran suicide is a heartbreaking reality in the U.S. Every day, an average of 22 veterans die by suicide, though some estimates suggest that number could be as high as 44. These numbers are staggering and unacceptable. The men and women who risked everything to protect our freedoms deserve better.
At High Science, we believe that plant-based therapies—including medical cannabis and psychedelic-assisted treatments—offer new hope. These therapies are showing incredible potential to help veterans manage the trauma they’ve experienced, giving them a path to healing. However, access remains a major hurdle due to ongoing stigmas, legal obstacles, and a lack of understanding around these treatments. This is where our campaign comes in.
Our Campaign: Supporting Veterans with Life-Changing Therapies
We’ve set a goal to raise at least $200,000 to fund wellness retreats for 10+ veterans who are suffering from PTSD and other mental health issues. These veterans will receive personalized, holistic care at the Coral Cove Wellness Retreat in Jamaica, a place known for providing life-changing plant-based treatments in a peaceful, natural setting.
The funds will cover everything from airfare and lodging to meals and personalized treatments. But this initiative is about more than just a retreat—it’s a critical step toward creating long-term healing for veterans through Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG). Working alongside Cannim, we will also be conducting a large-scale research study to better understand the impact of these therapies and push for wider access.
How You Can Help
We can’t do this alone. Your support is vital to making this campaign a success, and there are several ways you can get involved:
- Donate: Every contribution gets us closer to our goal of $200,000, which will directly fund wellness retreats for veterans who need this life-changing care.
- Spread the Word: Help us raise awareness by sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and social media networks. We’ve prepared a shared folder with sample posts and graphics that make it easy to spread the word.
- Engage on Social Media: Like, comment, and share posts from the High Science Charity Foundation social media channels. Every interaction helps increase visibility and reach.
Together, we can make sure veterans receive the care and healing they deserve. Let’s raise awareness, fight stigma, and give our heroes the support they need.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to our cause and for being part of the High Science family. Your actions today can change the lives of veterans tomorrow.
