We develop self-help books and support programs which empower soldiers returning home from war.
Our individualized workbooks are written by professionals with boots on the ground and expertise
in treating PTS(D); we understand the adversity faced by those on the frontlines. Backed by research
and our own experiences, we designed the UP ARMOR series with a hands-on and bottom-up approach,
to empower, encourage and heal military members and first responders. The series focuses on the
individual, their family, their community, and their faith, providing a powerful, faith-based
resource to aid in healing our heroes.
Who We Are
We are Project Healing Heroes.
We empower combat veterans, service members, first responders and their families to resolve trauma
through awareness, resilience and support.
We are combat veterans who have expertise in treating post-traumatic stress (disorder), often
referred to as PTS(D). We utilize our military and crisis training to find solutions to resiliency
challenges in individuals with all types of field-related trauma.
