National PTSD Awareness Month

National PTSD Awareness Month, observed every June, aims to increase understanding of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing traumatic events. It highlights the importance of recognizing symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety, and encourages support for affected individuals. The month promotes education, reduces stigma, and advocates for access to effective treatments like therapy and medication. By raising awareness, it helps those suffering feel less isolated and inspires communities to foster understanding and resilience for individuals impacted by trauma.
