Today, on PTSD Awareness Day, we extend our support to all individuals impacted by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) stemming from traumatic events. This condition significantly affects the lives of many, including our courageous Veterans. At VBG, we stand resolutely with Veterans who endure PTSD as a consequence of their military service. We are unwavering in our commitment to aiding their path towards healing and recovery. A comprehensive understanding of PTSD, providing assistance to those in need, and sharing pertinent resources can yield a substantial impact. **𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽:** - 𝑉𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠 𝐶𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑠 𝐿𝑖𝑛𝑒: 1-800-273-8255 (𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠 1) 𝑜𝑟 𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑡 838255 - 𝑁𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑆𝑢𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝐿𝑖𝑓𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒: 1-800-273-8255 - 𝑃𝑇𝑆𝐷 𝐶𝑜𝑎𝑐ℎ 𝐴𝑝𝑝 #VBGforVets #PTSDAwarenessDay #SupportOurVeterans #MentalHealthMatters

Did you know that veterans are much more likely to develop PTSD than those who haven't served?‼️ Yeah, it's true. In fact, vets are estimated to be four times more at risk. But here's the thing: if you're dealing with PTSD because of your combat experiences, you're not alone. There are over 1 million veterans with a VA disability rating for PTSD. And guess what? You could be eligible for VA health care, compensation, and treatment for PTSD. Now, proving combat PTSD might sound tough, but it's doable. Your statement could be enough to establish a connection to the stressor, as long as you meet certain requirements. Like being diagnosed with PTSD as a result of events during your service, or if the stressor happened while you were in combat. If you were involved in combat, your statement on VA Form 21-0781 is usually all you need to prove it. Spread the word to anyone who might need to know! #PTSD #benefits #veterans

As a #veteran was your #psychologicalhealth #assessed prior to you leaving the UK Ministry of Defence ? As it is “foreseeable” that #ptsd and #vicarioustrauma are commonplace in service personnel. “Post-traumatic stress disorder is not a static condition. Many people leave the armed forces with undiagnosed PTSD, and the condition often manifests after they have left the service. Expert opinion suggests that veterans will commonly (around 50% of the time) suffer from ‘complex PTSD’ (or complex presentations of PTSD).” #occupationalhealth #physicalhealth #psychologicalhealth https://lnkd.in/eVNJ4Utf

In late 2022 the Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs published that the 12-month estimated rate of PTSD among ex-serving members of the Australian Defence Force was 17.7%. But what is PTSD? And how do you talk to your mates or your doctor about it? In partnership with RSL Queensland our veteran health initiative is committed to understanding the impact that military service has on veterans and their families. 🎥 Watch the video to learn more about PTSD. #PTSD #VeteranMentalHealth #MentalHealth

Supporting our military service members and veterans is essential. These individuals deserve confidential, stigma-free, and culturally competent trauma treatment to combat PTSD symptoms. Trauma doesn't only happen during war or combat. Service members often face traumatic events both at home and abroad, such as training accidents, MST, and conflicts that may not be classified as wars or combat. At The Headstrong Project, our commitment is to provide trauma treatment and mental health care for veterans and military-connected members in need. Many veterans wait years before seeking PTSD treatment, often unaware of the underlying reasons behind their struggles with transition, employment, family, anger, sleep, and substance use. Let's stand together and create a compassionate and understanding community for our heroes. Together, we can ensure they receive the care and respect they deserve. Together, we triumph. Learn how you can support veterans and military-connected members in their journey of recovery.
