The Healing The Hero Protocol: A Groundbreaking Faith-Based Approach

1. The Jesus Protocol

Dan’s “Jesus Protocol” frames trauma not as a final sentence, but a spiritual and emotional injury that Christ can heal. This unique method:

  • Employs prayer and Biblical truth at every step.
  • Uses rapid trauma intervention tools, including the Trauma Resiliency Process.
  • Offers immediate, often life-changing results for those weighed down by PTSD, guilt, and grief.

2. Peer Rescue Model

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. The Peer Rescue Protocol emphasizes:

  • Connection with others who share similar experiences.
  • Coaching and support in person or online.
  • Support for families as well as those in uniform.

Why Faith Makes the Difference

Unlike secular trauma recovery programs, Healing The Hero puts Christ at the center. Dan and his team know that God’s Word delivers not just comfort, but transformation.

“Healing comes when the wounds we carry are surrendered to God. Our faith is the foundation that makes real recovery possible.”
— Dan Jarvis, Healing The Hero
