Special Update: You Can Help Someone with PTSD... Pass it on!

June is PTSD Awareness Month

The VA's National Center for PTSD encourages everyone to raise awareness throughout June in honor of PTSD Awareness Month.

Learn how to help anyone who has been through trauma, including the men and women who have served. VA's National Center for PTSD invites you each week in June to come to www.ptsd.va.gov.

Meet Veterans Who Have Been There

People with PTSD are your neighbors, coworkers, and family. Each week in June, Veterans highlight a different topic to introduce you to important issues about PTSD and getting help. Visit www.ptsd.va.gov weekly and share what you learn with someone you know:

• Week 1: How I knew I had PTSD
• Week 2: My family suffered
• Week 3: Hear how treatment helped me
• Week 4: My advice: Don't wait
