Join the LACDMH Veteran & Military Family Services program for a FREE film screening of https://t.co/viwWWc5iVF.Better. The film highlights the personal stories of four veterans and aims to bring understanding to how we collectively respond to trauma, to what a PTSD diagnosis means and how PTSD can impact daily life, far removed from a military setting.

In partnership with the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), attendees will participate in S.A.V.E. Training and learn about resources that promote mental health and wellbeing for Veterans, military family members and more. Lunch will be sponsored and provided by LACDMH, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and the VA.

CARE is about more than court outcomes, it's about connecting our neighbors to the care they need. In the new 2026 CARE Act Annual Report, L.A. County was recognized for its unique linkage model: more than 43% of dismissed CARE participants in L.A. County were connected to voluntary services (like Full Service Partnerships), compared to the statewide average of 27.9%.

That’s our goal: compassionate, continuous support. https://t.co/iRB0NxNuFd #CAREAct
