In this powerful episode, Steven Richard sits down with Brian Conceicao and Catherine Buckley of the Veterans Transition House (VTH) in New Bedford—a nonprofit organization that has been serving homeless and at-risk veterans for over 30 years.
Founded by Vietnam veterans in 1990, VTH has helped more than 3,000 veterans reclaim their lives through housing, rehabilitation, and community reintegration. Brian and Catherine share stories of transformation, the importance of veteran-to-veteran connection, and how VTH has become a trusted resource for those battling substance abuse, PTSD, and financial hardship.
From humble beginnings to becoming a regional leader in veteran support services, VTH lives by its mission: to provide a hand up, not a hand out.
Whether you’re a veteran, a community advocate, or someone who wants to better understand how to support those who served—this episode is a must-listen.
