Today, we stand in solidarity with all those affected by PTSD on National PTSD Awareness Day. We acknowledge the immense strength it takes to face the challenges of post-traumatic stress disorder and the critical role of support and understanding in the healing journey. At Ripple Effect, we’re proud to support organizations like the Congressional Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) that strive to transform healthcare for our nation's Service Members and Veterans, many of whom have been directly affected by PTSD in some way. Our portfolio management and reporting support of these military health programs are just a couple of ways that we are working hard to create meaningful change in the lives of this community.

Not all wounds are visible. June is PTSD awareness month, an opportunity to share information, resources, and treatment options for people experiencing PTSD. Post-traumatic Stress Disorder is a serious condition that is often misunderstood. Veterans are at a higher risk of developing PTSD. These brave men and women volunteered to put on a uniform to defend our freedoms and deserve our respect and support. By spreading awareness, we can help encourage those experiencing this condition to get the help they need and deserve. The following video gives an overview of facts, symptoms, treatment options, and resources for PTSD. If you are willing and able, share this video to help us spread awareness for this critical but treatable condition. Thank you to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, we included information from their site to help spread awareness on PTSD. Resources include: PTSD Foundation Of America USA Cares, Inc.
