The Senate designates June 2025 as National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month — symbolic, with no funding attached.
The details
The Senate sets aside June 2025 as National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month. June 27, 2025 is named as the corresponding awareness day. Senators back efforts by the Veterans Affairs and Defense departments to educate people about post-traumatic stress. That reaches service members, veterans, their families, and the general public. The education covers causes, symptoms, and treatment. The Senate also supports work to change military culture around the condition. The stated reasoning is that ordinary personal conversations can save lives. Military leadership is urged to back proper treatment for affected service members. The resolution closes by recognizing the toll on spouses and families. Nothing here creates a program or spends money.
