Featured Documentary

PTSD911 — The Film That Changed the Conversation

Award-Winning Documentary

PTSD911

PTSD911 is a documentary that follows first responders as they confront the invisible wounds of their service — PTSD, addiction, suicidal ideation — and fight to heal. EFR hosted a community screening event at Higher Vision Church in Valencia.

A note in memory: Of the three first responders featured in this documentary, two have since died by suicide. Matt — the third — is still with us. This is why we exist. Every warrior who struggles deserves a path forward. EFR is that path.
