PTSD Awareness Month

PTSD awareness month slider 2023

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health issue that some people develop after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event, like combat, a natural disaster, a car accident, or sexual assault. June is PTSD Awareness Month. Help us spread the word that effective PTSD treatments are available. Everyone with PTSD needs to know that treatment can lead to a better quality of life.

Visit the National Center for PTSD for more information and follow us on social media to join the conversation and promote awareness this month.  

This page includes resources developed by our Network and other national organizations on treating trauma and PTSD.
