The important part of this conversation is that the veteran is likely helping a lot of other people come to terms with their own mental health issues.
Here's a recent local report . . .
One of the films being shown is called "HERE. IS. BETTER."It's a documentary about four veterans and their trauma therapy sessions as they battle post-traumatic stress disorder.
One of the veterans that the film focuses on is former Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander."The training teaches you that you have no right to your fears," Kander said in the documentary.
