🧠💚 June is PTSD Awareness Month 💚🧠
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can affect anyone — veterans, first responders, survivors of trauma, or even those who’ve experienced a life-changing event. It’s more common than you think — and nothing to be ashamed of.
➡️ Know the signs:
• Flashbacks or nightmares
• Anxiety or irritability
• Avoidance of reminders
• Trouble sleeping or concentrating
✨ Healing is possible.
PTSD is treatable, and support is available. This month, we encourage you to check in with yourself and your loved ones. Talk to your doctor or mental health professional — you're not alone.
📅 Let’s work together to break the stigma and support mental health for all.

Early diagnosis and proper care can greatly improve quality of life.

✔️ Raise awareness and spread the word
Let’s show support and advocate for a healthier future for everyone affected by this condition. 💪

🏡 Home Safety Tip:
Install grab bars in bathrooms and use non-slip mats to prevent falls — especially for older adults.
👷 Workplace Awareness Tip:
Take regular breaks to stretch and adjust posture if you sit at a desk all day. It helps prevent strain and fatigue.
🚸 Childproofing & Family Safety Tip:
Keep all medications locked away and out of reach of children — even vitamins and over-the-counter meds.
