PORTLAND, Oregon – The community and media are invited to join Multnomah County and VA Portland Health Care System on June 25, 2019 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. for a free gallery reception honoring Veterans and their loved ones featured in the From War to Home: The Impact of Invisible Injuries exhibit located at the Multnomah County Board Room. Welcome remarks, introductions, and a Q&A session will begin at 3:30 p.m.
About the exhibit:
From War to Home: The Impact of Invisible Injuries explores the lasting effects of invisible injuries of war and military service on post 9/11 service era Veterans and those closest to them. As part of a VA research collaboration using photovoice methods, Veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and their family caregivers were given cameras and asked to take photos to illustrate their experiences living with TBI and other invisible injuries related to military service. A selection of these powerful images and stories from Veterans and their families, living in Portland, Oregon and Southeast Louisiana, is on display in the Multnomah County Board Room through Thursday, June 27, 2019.
