Digital stories screening 2026
Canadian Veterans and their Families have proudly served our country together, despite the many risks involved. Many of these risks result in invisible wounds that persist long after their service has ended. It can be a complex and difficult journey toward healing while balancing pride in their service with the need to recover from past trauma.
If you find yourself resonating with these challenges, know that you are not alone. The Atlas Institute for Veterans and Families invites you to discover a new series of digital stories told by Veterans and Veteran Family members. United by a common desire to heal through sharing their stories, these individuals trace their journeys of reclaiming identity, reshaping pain into purpose and moving beyond silence by embracing the strength of community. In featuring these stories, we hope to shine a light on the power of connection and community in support of others who may be on similar journeys.
You are invited to join us on June 25, 2026 for a free screening of our newest digital stories. This event will be held in English with French auto captioning available.
Note: Each of these real-life stories is impactful in its own way and can affect each person differently. Please remember to prioritize your self-care as needed. If you need support, please visit our directory of services for a list of resources available to current and former members of the Canadian Armed Forces and Royal Canadian Mounted Police and their Families.
The screening will include a discussion with each of the featured storytellers and the opportunity to ask them questions, reflecting on your own story.
Be part of a powerful conversation on how healing — through awareness, support and community — can evolve into a lifelong journey of rediscovery and transformation.
Explore other digital stories from CAF and RCMP Veterans and Family members. Told in their own words, they share a thread of recovery and resilience. In bringing these stories to life, the hope is to support others on their own journeys.
