Military Veterans Foundation’s Post

Awareness is key....

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

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

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Lets all take a moment to recognize that we all deal with our mental health differently. The most important thing to remember is that if you don't safely unpack the baggage in the mind, it will fill up so fast that the most minuscule tasks become impossible. The longer you wait, the more you have to work through, so start as early as possible. Supportive families, communities, and resources can help youth build strong foundations for lifelong well-being. By teaching children and teens coping skills, we can empower them to take charge of their mental health. Know the signs of mental health issues in children and teens. Early diagnosis and treatment can save lives. Start the conversation early: talking about mental health can help children and teens build coping skills and feel comfortable with their emotions. Nurturing relationships and environments are important for helping children and teens develop good mental health and manage life stressors in healthy ways. Good mental health increases the ability of children, teens and adults to practice self-care and face challenges with resilience. #MHAM2024 #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #EmotionalWellness #SelfCare #Qmissions #TaskForce12

Did you know today is National Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Day? PTSD is a mental health condition that affects about 1 in 15 American adults. A person may develop PTSD after experiencing or witnessing any traumatic event, which could include military combat, sexual or physical violence, natural disasters, or severe accidents. The term "post-traumatic stress disorder" became common in the 1980s, but the condition has been prevalent among military veterans for much longer, going by names like “soldier’s heart”, “shell shock”, and “war neurosis”. On June 27, 2010, the U.S. government created National PTSD Awareness Day in recognition of Staff Sergeant Joe Biel, a National Guard service member who experienced PTSD after two tours in Iraq and died by suicide in 2007. You can learn more about trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder by reading the following resource guide from our website: https://lnkd.in/gHNWpJG5 #PTSD #Trauma #PTSDAwarenessDay #PTSDsupport #PTSDrecovery #PTSDhope #PTSDeducation #TraumaAwareness

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

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
