VETS, Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions, Inc

Last week, in honor of Veterans Day, we gathered for an inspiring evening to screen In Waves and War, a documentary that follows three former Navy SEALs, including VETS Co-Founder Marcus Capone, as they navigate the challenges of post-combat life, discover the transformative power of psychedelic-assisted therapy, and embark on a mission to bring healing to the veteran community. The film’s powerful message shines a light on the critical issue of veteran suicide and the promising potential of these new approaches to veteran health. A special thanks to our dear friend David Bronner and Dr. Bronner’s for supporting this impactful night, and to Bonni Cohen, Jon Shenk, Actual Films, and Participant Media for your dedication to capturing and sharing our stories with such depth and compassion.
