Peer-Reviewed Research Findings
Veterans began our 5-day Healing Intensive with an average PTSD score of 55 on the PCL-5 (scores above 33 indicate probable PTSD).
After just five days, the average score dropped to 25 — below the clinical cutoff.
53% of participants no longer met the criteria for PTSD.
At 120 days post-program, the average score dropped even further to 21, proving the healing wasn’t temporary — it lasted.
Participants also reported significant reductions in depression, anxiety, and negative mood, along with measurable increases in psychological flexibility and positive emotion.

Testimonials
CLARK SABO, US Marine Veteran
"I had given up. I was at the end of the road and couldn't see a way forward. H.O.O.V.E.S. invested in me and in my healing, my journey, and my future. Because of that belief, the road ahead is now paved with clear intent and purpose."
