June Is PTSD Awareness Month


HOUSTON, June 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- It is estimated that we lose one veteran every 65 minutes to PTSD.  In recent years, it's estimated that over 20 percent (1 in 5) veterans return from Afghanistan have been diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).  This epidemic continues to grow and impacts veterans, their families and the community across the United States.  During PTSD Awareness Month this June, PTSD Foundation of America is launching a nationwide awareness campaign to discuss PTSD and the impact it actually has on our veterans.

SYMPTOMS TO LOOK FOR:

"Educating the public about PTSD is our primary mission.  We not only want to stop the stigma about PTSD, but also instill a sense of pride in those struggling, as we believe that those veterans should be treated with the upmost respect.  Finding the right mentors and tools to help change their lives is paramount," David Maulsby, Executive Director/ PTSD Foundation of America

Our representatives are available for interviews to discuss the free services offered nationwide.
