Veterans Helping Veterans TV May 2014 Update

Veterans Helping Veterans TV advocates by having a video presence online www.VHVtv.org. There is a constant need for assistance from our veterans. How do we provide that?  VHVtv, created in 2009, is the original web tv series, and network platform, produced by veterans to outreach to other veterans online.

How do you use your influence in the world to do GOOD?  We do that by presenting individuals and groups that provide solutions to the many problems facing our veterans.  An example are the interviews we did with homeless vets in recovery at the U.S. VETS in Riverside and we are uploading those as individual segments to our newly created Veterans Helping Veterans TV Channel on Vimeo.  http://vimeo.com/veteranshelpingveterans

Another important topic is Traumatic Brain Injury.  Our most recent in studio filming was in March with Dr. Maya V. Yutis (R), a Neuropsychologist from the Polytrauma Clinic at the VA in Palo Alto, CA.

This event and production costs were sponsored by the AMVETS CA Women Veterans Committee.

At the 2013 C.D.V.A. Women Veterans Leadership Conference in San Diego, we filmed 18 interviews. These interviews are in a playlist on our YouTube channel.  Each interview has been uploaded separately and will eventually be uploaded to our new VHVtv channel on Vimeo.

These interviews were sponsored by the AMVETS CA Women Veteran Committee.

Lindsey Sin (L) is the Deputy Secretary of Women Veterans for the California Department of Veteran Affairs.  We encourage all women vets to get registered with the C.D.V.A.

Interviews with Bow Rodgers, CEO of Vet-Tech; Lydia Davey, CEO and Founder of Moriah Creatives PR and Ryan Micheletti, CFO of Portal tell how they started and became entrepreneurs. We encourage veterans to start their own companies.  Filmed in the Media Center studio in Palo Alto in October 2013 is "Vet-Tech."   http://youtu.be/H8ewCd-hh0k

The mission of VHVtv is to inform, educate and motivate veterans to learn about and apply for benefits. Joining and becoming involved with a veteran service organization is a great way to make a positive impact in the veteran community.

We have revised the Veterans Helping Veterans TV Channel on Placevine.  All our interview segments will be uploaded eventually.  Check us out on Placevine.
