Augusta , GA — June is National Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month. June is National Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month. To increase public


understanding and encourage Veteran participation in PTSD-recovery programs, Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center invites media to consider interviewing our trauma-recovery experts to discuss


PTSD and Veteran therapy options. "PTSD is not limited to combat-related trauma. Yes, combat experiences can lead to PTSD, but it can also result from other traumatic incidents, such as


sexual assault, car accidents, or childhood events," said Dr. J. Richard Monroe, program manager for the Charlie Norwood VA Trauma Recovery Clinic in Augusta. "Too often, Veterans


think they just have to live with PTSD, when in reality, we offer effective, evidence-based therapies. Recovery is possible, and our team can help." WHAT: Interview opportunities with


PTSD-recovery professionals WHEN: Throughout the month of June (PTSD Awareness Month) WHERE: Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center Uptown Division (1 Freedom Way, Augusta, GA 30904) WHO: Charlie
