As a Military Soldier and Life Coach, I’ve seen firsthand the silent battles that many of our brave soldiers face. PTSD is a reality for far too many heroes who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. But the condition doesn’t discriminate – it can affect anyone who has experienced trauma, whether on the battlefield or at home. Awareness is key. By understanding PTSD, we can offer support, compassion, and resources to those who need it most 🙏🏽 Reach out to support the veterans and active-duty service members in your life who may be struggling with PTSD. Collectively we can break the stigma surrounding mental health in the military community and beyond. #iamdeblair #the8figuredbody #8figuredbrand #8Figured #Author #health #wellness #military #ResilientAF #leadership #coach #ptsdawareness

Deployment can take a toll on soldiers' mental health, leading to issues like PTSD, anxiety, and depression. 💔 It's crucial to address these challenges and provide support.

On Remembrance Day, we honour the sacrifice soldiers make as well as the ongoing challenges they face when they return. For many veterans, trauma, loss and stress don’t end when they leave the battlefield. Invisible wounds like PTSD, anxiety and depression can impact their mental wellbeing and daily life. Therapy can be a powerful tool for healing. Evidence-based treatments like CBT, EMDR and support groups can all help people process trauma and manage symptoms. Today, let’s remember the strength it takes to seek support for trauma and remind people they’re not alone. #RemembranceDay #Army #VeteranMentalHealth #MentalHealthSupport #PTSD #MentalHealth #Therapy #PTSDAwareness

Navigating the complexities of military life as a single mom while serving on active duty is a challenging journey. Balancing the responsibilities of a service member and a parent, all while battling mental health issues, was tough. Recognizing the importance of seeking help was a turning point—it's not a weakness but a form of strength. In the military, resilience is often highlighted, but mental health matters just as much as physical readiness. Asking for support is not a sign of failure; it's a crucial step in self-care to better care for others. If you're facing similar challenges, remember, you're not alone. Reach out to mental health professionals, your command, or peers for assistance. Prioritizing your mental well-being is essential for mission readiness as a parent! #MentalHealthAwareness #SingleMom #MilitaryLife #YouAreNotAlone #BreakTheStigma #Resilience #MentalHealthMatters

Veterans in particular can benefit from participating in group therapy as part of a treatment plan for substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders, such as PTSD. Below are a few reasons for considering group therapy as a veteran. Call us today at 814-801-3139 to learn more about treatment. #veterans #veteransupport #military

The term co-occurring disorders—also known as dual diagnosis—describes a diagnosis of two or more mental health conditions that present simultaneously in an individual. For veterans with PTSD, co-occurring disorders or dual diagnoses are common. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 80 percent of people with PTSD have one or more additional mental health issues.#veterans #veteransupport #military #ptsd #trauma

It's important to note that the effects of trauma can vary widely from person to person, depending on factors such as the nature and severity of the trauma, the individual's resilience and coping skills, their support system, and any pre-existing vulnerabilities or strengths. Seeking support from mental health professionals, building a strong support network, and engaging in self-care strategies can be important steps in healing from trauma. Therefore let us remain vigiliant as we support and handle others because we can not see those invisible acars! #laviniaspeaks #balance #breatheagain #empowerment #heal #hope #traumainformed #invisiblescars #sisterwarrior #takenoprisoners #breatheagain #blackexcellence #blackhistory #TheAftermath #mentalhealth #womeninfilm #DallasLit #SAAPM #military #ArmyStrong #TexasWomensHallofFame #resilience #prioritizevictims #mentalhealth #awareness #survivorsmatter #selfcare #selflove #survivorcentered

Today is Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Day. Do you tend to think most Veterans have PTSD? If you do, you are misinformed. The National Center for PTSD reports that PTSD varies by era of conflict: * Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans: About 20%. * Gulf War (Desert Storm): About 12% * Vietnam War: About 30% have had PTSD sometime in their lifetime. Please do your part to bust the common misconception that most Veterans have PTSD! When ⅔ of Americans experience some kind of trauma in their lifetime and less than 1% of Americans serve in the armed forces, it is more likely that you will meet a civilian who has PTSD than a veteran.
