HEAL! Veterans Speak About PTSD [excerpt]

Description

The short film 'HEAL! Veterans Speak About PTSD' is the first in a series of videos produced as an integral part of a larger project entitled HEAL! by visual artist Vicki Topaz. This film features five veterans speaking about their personal challenges with coming home, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the ways in which their service dogs assist them.
The project illustrates the difficulties our military personnel face upon returning home, while also highlighting the important benefits a service dog can provide to those suffering with the invisible wounds of PTSD.
As the suicide rate among veterans continues at an alarming rate, HEAL! encourages veterans to seek help. The full project of photographs, interviews, videos, and links to relevant information is online at HealVeterans.com.
