Abstract
Mixed methods were used to assess the impact of a Veterans Vision Fast program on 5 veterans' mental health. Posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, psychological flourishing, life satisfaction, and well-being were measured twice before and twice after the program using a data collection app. Semistructured interviews assessed veterans' perceived experiences. The authors found significant overall changes and large effect sizes in each outcome over 6 weeks, and several themes emerged from the veterans' responses. The program positively affected veterans' lives.
