Returning Veterans Project in partnership with Washington County Health and Human Services Disability, Aging and Veteran Services and Pacific University Military and Veteran Services Present HERE. IS. BETTER.

HERE. IS. BETTER. intimately follows the journeys of four Veterans, each with unique backgrounds and service experiences, as they undergo evidence-based trauma psychotherapies for PTSD. From former presidential hopeful Jason Kander’s decision to seek treatment during his Kansas City mayoral race to a Vietnam War Veteran haunted by events from over 50 years ago to the often overlooked voices of women Veterans, this film gives a unique view of their paths to finding healing and resolution. Watch the trailer to get a glimpse into their stories.
