Background

For soldiers, coming home from war could often be more challenging than being deployed. Returning to 'normal' life was often overwhelming and simply unrealistic. Once home, vets could face unexpected feelings of stress, shame and denial. They weren't always able to get access to the mental health support that could help them cope.

When National Geographic started production on "The Long Road Home," a drama series based on the emotional impact of the Iraq war, both in the field and back at home, they were inspired to help address this challenge.
