June is PTSD Awareness Month. As this month comes to a close, we are grateful to be able to share information from the VA’s National Center for PTSD.

Please review this Raise PTSD Awareness with A Drop-In Blog Post.

Anyone who has experienced a trauma can develop PTSD. If you think you may have PTSD, start by answering 5 questions about how you’ve been feeling: www.ptsd.va.gov/screen

The National Center for PTSD offers information and resources to understand PTSD, its treatment and helpful information for friends and family. You can visit their website here: https://www.ptsd.va.gov/understand/awareness/promo_materials.asp#accord-screen
