Medical
Our partners with HBOT treatment centers, board-certified physicians and local wellness facilities have been crucial in helping our veterans get the medical treatment they need to help heal their TBIs and PTSD.
Fellowship
We aim to address the effects of moral injury on our veterans and seek to revive hope and purpose in their lives. Through partnerships with military ministries and outreach programs, we offer group sessions that build community and create space for reflection, spiritual growth, and connection.
Recreation
We recognize that camaraderie plays a vital role in the healing journey of our veterans. That’s why we bring veterans down for treatment in cohorts and offer a range of recreational experiences—like airboat rides, fishing trips, golf outings, group dinners, and more. These shared moments help build trust, friendship, and a sense of normalcy during a time of deep restoration.
Helping Heroes Heal with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
The 22 Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating veteran suicide. Our program helps veterans receive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and supplemental therapies to help treat traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and post-traumatic-stress disorder (PTSD).

Reported Suicides
“In 2012, the Department of Veterans Affairs Mental Health Services Suicide Prevention Program determined that 22 veterans commit suicide each day in our country.” Help us put an end to this statistic.
Why Do Veterans Need Access to HBOT?
Despite its benefits, HBOT isn’t covered by the VA — leaving many veterans without access to this life-changing therapy. Our 2023 Legacy Report was conducted as a follow-up survey to 355 veteran alumni participants to gather insight into the long-term impact of HBOT and our related services. A total of 106 veterans completed the survey and these were the findings:
100%
Improved in at least one symptom
80.0%
Reduction in severe PTSD
79.6%
Reduction in severe anxiety
77.7%
Reduction in severe relationship problems
77.5%
Reduction in severe isolation
76.9%
Reduction in severe depression
75.1%
Reduction in severe headaches
63.4%
Reduction in the rate of suicidal thoughts

I was introduced to a nonprofit called The 22 Project. These people changed my life I mean CHANGED MY LIFE. They did what our government promised to do. They treated me for my PTSD and TBIs. They treated me like family. They all but cured my headaches that I used to get almost daily. My mood is so much more stable. I no longer have the angry outbursts. I’m not ill for no reason. I used to tell people I’d give anything to be the person I was before the military. I’m pretty close to the fairly likable kid that joined the Corps at 18. Just a lot wiser and a lot more grateful.

I can't begin to describe how wonderful the folks at 22P are. They truly do care and I would even say love the veterans they serve. I have never felt like what I did was heroic or extraordinary, but they made me feel important. To 'see' my symptoms on the scans was powerful. It confirmed my suspicions and helped me to realize that I wasn't a bad person, just injured. Not only that, it gave me hope that things could be better - and they are! I am 6 months post-treatment and am still feeling better. Thank you 22 Project!

Everyone directly and indirectly involved with The 22 Project were unbelievably kind and supportive. God has blessed the Veteran community by bringing such an amazing group of people together to support those with TBI. You have given so many of us a life changing gift. Know that what you are doing is saving lives and helping us to thrive! The 22 Project didn’t just give me the gift of healing my body, but also healed my spirit! Thank you to all.
