Summary

National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month and Day. This bill would designate June 2025 as National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month and June 27, 2025 as National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Day to raise awareness of PTSD among service members and veterans.

Show full summary
  • Veterans and service members: Highlights elevated PTSD risk and cites that about 11–20% of veterans who served in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom suffer from severe or chronic PTSD.
  • Families and spouses: Recognizes the impact of PTSD on spouses and family members and encourages support for their resilience and well‑being.
  • Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, and medical community: Encourages education of service members, veterans, families, and the public about causes, symptoms, and treatment and asks leaders to support appropriate care.
  • Public stigma and media: Calls for efforts to reduce stigma and to examine media portrayals because many traumatic stress responses go unreported, undiagnosed, and untreated.
