June 27th PTSD Awareness Day

Starting in 2010, June 27th was named as PTSD Awareness Day in the US In 2014, the Senate designated the full month of June for National PTSD Awareness. Efforts are underway to continue this designation for the fourth consecutive year in 2017.

After a traumatic event, most people have painful memories and may develop PTSD. For many people, the effects of the event fade over time. But for others, the memories, thoughts and feelings take time to ease, taking months, even years after the event is over. The impact of a traumatic event can affect every single aspect of the Trauma Survivors everyday life, and its important to try and seek support for PTSD.

The purpose of PTSD Awareness Month is to encourage everyone to raise public awareness of PTSD and effective treatments. We can all help those affected by PTSD.

What do you plan to do, to help create awareness of PTSD and how this condition can severely impact on an individuals life?

The trauma team would also like to hold another fun event at the end of June and would welcome ideas about how to incorporate this, into raising awareness of PTSD.
