Our Ethics

Healing Nations Foundation was founded by a veteran in long-term recovery. These are the commitments we hold ourselves to, and the ones you can hold us to.

Support and education, not treatment

We are a wellness and peer-support organization, not a clinical provider. We do not diagnose or treat, and the Recovery Companion is not a substitute for professional care or a crisis service.

Crisis help comes first

Every page of this site keeps crisis help in reach, and the app puts it one tap away. If you are in crisis, call or text 988, then press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line. In immediate danger, call 911.

No outcome promises

We do not have outcome data yet, and we will not claim results we cannot show. An independent evaluation with a university partner is part of our pilot plan, and we will publish what it finds.

Honest about where we are

The Recovery Companion is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Android is coming soon, and we will not describe it as available there until it is. The court and program reporting side is built, and no court or county is using it yet.

Your journal stays yours

Journal entries stay private by default. When someone joins a court-supervised program, the app shows exactly what will be shared before it connects, and meeting attendance is clearly labeled as self-reported.

Free for those who served

The Recovery Companion is free for veterans, active duty, National Guard and Reserve, and first responders, and we intend to keep it that way.

Careful with what people trust us with

We do not sell personal information. Gifts keep the app free and fund the independent evaluation we have committed to.

If you think we have fallen short of any of these, tell us at info@healingnationsfoundation.org.
