About PTSD Awareness

The National Center for PTSD promotes awareness of PTSD and effective treatments throughout the year. Starting in 2010, Congress named June 27th PTSD Awareness Day (S. Res. 455). For the second consecutive year in 2014, the Senate designated the full month of June for National PTSD Awareness (S. Res. 481).

Following trauma, most people experience stress reactions but many do not develop PTSD. Mental health experts are not sure why some people develop PTSD and others do not. However, if stress reactions do not improve over time and they disrupt everyday life, seeking help to determine if PTSD is a factor is important. The purpose of PTSD Awareness Month is to encourage everyone to raise public awareness of PTSD and its effective treatments. We can all help those affected by PTSD.

Facebook has changed its stance on how to address a disturbing video showing a crying baby being held upside down and repeatedly dunked in a bucket of water. Initially, when members of the online community expressed outrage over the viral clip and demanded that it be taken down, the social media giant said the video depicted a form of baby yoga and didn’t violate any policies. Now, the Menlo Park-based company agrees the treatment of the child depicted in the video is inappropriate and distressing and will pull the video in cases where it promotes or mocks the behavior. The video is thought to originate from Indonesia and quickly went viral on Facebook around the world and especially in the UK.

NOTE: We will NOT share the video as it is too disturbing, but for anyone who wants to view the video it can be seen HERE. This self-proclaimed “Baby Yoga” is not new, by any means. It is inhumane, abusive, and should be ILLEGAL!!

It’s not common for obituaries to list a cause of death, but family members of a man who recently passed away included that and more in hopes that the honest and moving obituary they wrote might help others.  Clay Shepard, 22, of Apex, NC died last month from a drug overdose. “We loved Clay with all of our hearts, but we now know that was not enough to shield him from the world,” his obituary says. “This note isn’t an attempt to assign blame for Clay’s death. It’s not to vent our anger and frustration at a world where drugs can be ordered and delivered through the internet. We write this obituary in hope that it may provide an insight to those that need to change their behavior one night at a time.” READ MORE HERE
