PTSD Awareness

During the month of June, we recognize the importance of spreading awareness related to PTSD. It is a mental health issue that can impact anyone of any age after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event-one of physical violence, military combat, natural disasters, or a severe accident.  PTSD may disrupt relationships, cause problems at work, or leave one feeling anxious, depressed, angry and isolated. The good news is that it’s treatable using various therapy techniques and medications.  There is hope and there is help.
