🧠🇺🇸 Important Fact: African American veterans are 1.5 times more likely to experience PTSD compared to their counterparts. This higher rate is influenced by unique stressors, such as racial discrimination and systemic inequities, that can impact their mental health during and after military service. What can we do to support them? Advocate for and support policies that promote equitable, culturally competent mental health care. Raise awareness about the challenges African American veterans face. Encourage community-based programs that provide safe spaces and resources tailored to their experiences. Let’s commit to a future where every veteran receives the care and support they deserve. Together, we can make a difference. #AAMWA #RMRT #VeteransDay #PTSDawareness #SupportBlackVeterans #MentalHealth

Awareness is key....

Trauma in the Military: More Than Combat When we think of trauma in the military, combat is often the first thing that comes to mind. But for many service members and veterans, the story is more complex. Trauma in the military can stem from a range of experiences—extended separation from loved ones, high-stress training environments, personal losses, and intense operational pressures. These challenges accumulate over time, creating layers of stress and psychological strain. One recent study found that non-combat trauma, such as sexual harassment, discrimination, and administrative issues, is significantly linked to mental health issues in veterans. And yet, these experiences are often overlooked or minimized, leaving individuals to cope alone. As we advocate for mental health support, let’s remember that service members deserve understanding and assistance for all forms of trauma—not just those incurred on the battlefield. Supporting our military means acknowledging the full spectrum of their experiences and creating spaces for healing that recognize every struggle. #MilitaryMentalHealth #TraumaAwareness #SupportOurTroops #BeyondCombat

Therapy is essential for first responders and military personnel as it aids in coping with stressors and trauma from their roles, addressing issues like PTSD, anxiety, and depression. It offers a safe space for processing trauma, fostering resilience and emotional well-being, which enhances performance and relationships. #mentalhealth #firstresponders #military #militarylife #Nebraska
