Introducing Our Veterans Video Lab

By Lukas Sutton | Development and Operations Associate

Between 529,000 and 840,000 veterans are homeless at some time during the year. On any given night, more than 300,000 veterans are living on the streets or in shelters in the United States. These are just a few of the startling statistics regarding the current state of veterans in the United States. Here at 3 Generations we are proud to announce our newest effort to raise awareness of the issues facing veterans today: Our Veterans Video Lab (or VLAB).

Research shows that individual-based narrative exposure therapy, aka storytelling, is effective with individuals with high levels of PTSD. Telling their stories helps heal victims of violence. At 3 Generations our plan is to utilize social video marketing to tell the stories of the 21.6 million U.S. veterans. The goal to create a mobile video lab where we can make high quality social videos of veterans on the street, in our office or anywhere veterans want to tell their stories. 

Our mission is to create survivor-based evidence, to use it as a catalyst for change (via the organizations we partner with), all the while maintaining an ever-growing archive of these human rights abuses. Our methodology has been extremely successful, reaching audiences in the millions, generating tens of millions of media hits, and leading to awards for both ourselves and our partner NGOs. We have launched media campaigns that included local, national and international press coverage.

We are extremely excited about launching our veterans video lab, and it is made possible by your continued support in our organization. Thanks to generous individuals like you we are able to do all that we aspire to do. Thank you!
