PTSD Awareness Month
PTSD Awareness Month, observed every June, focuses on increasing understanding of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing traumatic events such as accidents, natural disasters, or violence. It aims to reduce stigma, promote education, and encourage those affected to seek help. During this month, organizations share information about symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety, and highlight treatment options such as therapy and support networks. The goal is to foster a supportive environment where individuals feel safe to discuss their experiences and access resources for recovery.
