As we close out June, we remind our military community about the importance of recognizing invisible wounds many service members carry, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. PTSD is a severe condition that affects countless veterans and their families, yet its signs can often go unnoticed. During PTSD Awareness Month, it's essential to bridge the gap of awareness to those who may not recognize the signs. Whether you are experiencing PTSD or know someone who might be, utilizing available resources can make a difference. If you or someone you know is struggling, visit https://lnkd.in/gi7nHeK for information and support. #VeteranSupport #HelpingOthers #Veterans

Helping veterans elevate their VA ratings and access rightful benefits. | USMC Retired | Veteran Coach @Just4Veterans
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.
