🎆 Fireworks & PTSD: Be Mindful This 4th of July

While fireworks are a celebration for many, they can be deeply distressing for Veterans and others living with PTSD. The loud booms and flashes may trigger traumatic memories, anxiety, or flashbacks.

💡 Here’s how you can help:
✅ Give neighbors a heads-up if you plan to set off fireworks
✅ Consider attending public shows instead of setting off your own
✅ Spread awareness and compassion this holiday

🧠 If you're a Veteran struggling with PTSD, you’re not alone. Support is available. Call our office at (586)242-0027 to schedule an appointment with a licensed clinician.

🧠 June is PTSD Awareness Month 💚

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder affects millions — but it often goes unseen, unheard, and misunderstood.

At Shorepointe Counseling, we see the strength it takes to live with trauma and the courage it takes to seek help. PTSD is not a sign of weakness. It’s a human response to overwhelming experiences — and healing is possible.

This month, we stand with survivors. We work to break the stigma. And we’re here to walk beside anyone navigating their path toward recovery.

You are not alone. Support is here. Call our office to schedule an appointment today at (586)242-0027
