The Patton Veterans Project (PVP) MISSION
The mission of the Patton Veterans Project is to:
- Use collaborative filmmaking as a therapeutic pathway for veterans coping with posttraumatic and other service-related stress to validate their service accomplishments, reduce social isolation, and strengthen family, community and professional bonds; and
- Through regular community screenings, break down barriers between veterans and civilians, and educate the public about the mental health challenges facing veterans and military families today.
