National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month

Legislative Progress
The Senate has already voted on and approved this resolution, making it an official action of that chamber.
Key Points
- This resolution officially names June 2025 as National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month. It also marks June 27, 2025, as a special day to focus on the mental health of people who have lived through trauma.
- The goal is to help veterans and service members get the care they need. Many people do not seek help because they are embarrassed or afraid of what others will think. This action tries to stop that stigma by showing that trauma causes real physical changes in the brain.
- The Senate is encouraging the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense to keep educating the public. They want more people to understand the symptoms of post-traumatic stress and know that treatment can prevent serious problems like homelessness or suicide.
