The first PDX Recovery Film Festival

Bridges to Change’s first PDXRFF was an absolute success.  We had submission from all around the country.  Over 300 people attended the virtual festival.

You can watch this engaging panel discussion from the festival with executive directors Monta Knudson (BTC), Tera Hurst (Health Justice Recovery Alliance) and Chris Bouneff (NAMI Oregon) as they talk about the behavioral health system and homelessness with thoughts on how to be a catalyst for change.
