You are not alone, and you don’t have to carry this burden by yourself.
Did you know that PTSD affects about 5% of the general U.S. population, which means roughly 13 million Americans are living with this condition? Texas VFW is encouraging everyone to take this month to raise awareness, break the silence, and foster compassionate conversations about mental health.
Support our Veterans and active military members by reaching out, educating ourselves on the signs of PTSD, and sharing resources.
If you or a Veteran you know is struggling, the Veterans Crisis Line offers immediate help:
Dial **988**, then press **1**, or text **838255**.
