Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health issue describing a person’s difficulty recovering after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. #PTSD may last months or years, with triggers that can bring back memories of the trauma accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions. At some point in their life, 7% of veterans will have PTSD. Today, for National Stress Awareness Day, we want to uplift an important resource provided by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs: the Veterans Crisis Line. If you are a #veteran in crisis - or know one - the Veterans Crisis Line is here for you: https://lnkd.in/d_PNaU2.

If you doubt the prevalence of this issue, consult any military family that has experienced it. The most challenging aspect is helping the service member acknowledge the need for assistance, as they have been trained to believe they are self-sufficient while in uniform. This is another reason the RCTAA / Reserve Component Transition Assistance Advisors Program program was written into P.L. 112-239, Sec 513. Be aware that numerous resources are available, yet the most challenging part is often taking the initial step to ask for help. If you notice a comrade in distress, I encourage you to make an effort to spend one-on-one time with them and attentively listen to their concerns. #dontleaveabattlebuddybehind #stressimpactseveryone #RCTAAisavailable

START THE CONVERSATION It's important to share your concerns when a Veteran in your life seems to be experiencing mental health challenges or is in crisis. Family members, friends and those close to Veterans are often the first to notice signs that a Veteran is going through challenges. When you notice changes in a Veteran's behaviors, attitudes or moods, it's a good time to offer your support. Have a conversation about your concerns, and let the Veteran know you’re there for them. If have questions on what to do and what are the symptoms, visit https://lnkd.in/d4E3xe7, for examples of what to look for, listen to stories of others who have faced the exact same situation, and find resources of where to reach out for help. #vpca #WhatsYourNumber #getscreened
