27 June is PTSD Awareness Day. Phoenix Australia aims to raise awareness about posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the impact of trauma, because if more people know about PTSD, then more sufferers can get the help they need.Trauma can have a devastating effect on people’s lives.  Anyone of us can be affected and the psychological impacts can be deep and complex.

Not everyone who experiences trauma will develop PTSD, but about 5-10% of Australians will suffer from PTSD at some point in their lives. That means that at any one time over 1 million Australians have PTSD.

Get involved this June by:

• Raising awareness on social media
• Making a donation to the foundation
• Volunteering
