VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System issued the following announcement on June 18.
June is National Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness Month, a month designated to increase the awareness of PTSD in the population, reduce the stigma associated with PTSD, and help ensure that those suffering from a condition that is usually invisible to outside observers can get the help they need.
For the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System, combating PTSD is closely linked to one of our biggest priorities...reducing instances of Veteran suicide.On this episode of The 9 Line, we speak with Dr. Nicole Anders, Clinical Psychologist, and Candice Bodie, Suicide Prevention Coordinator, about the links between PTSD and suicide, some of the programs Veterans experiencing PTSD can use to get needed help, and also how PTSD is manifesting in many Veterans now that COVID restrictions are being relaxed.
