Every year, June shines a spotlight on PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), a condition affecting millions worldwide. Trauma doesn’t discriminate—it impacts people across all walks of life. This month, we come together globally to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and promote healing through education and compassion.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿:
- About 7–8% of people globally will experience PTSD in their lifetime.
- Nearly 70% of people endure some form of traumatic event.
- Evidence-based treatments exist that can help individuals recover and regain control.
- Community support plays a vital role in encouraging those affected to seek help.

Let’s honor survivors, remember those lost, and work toward a world where mental health is prioritized and understood. Wearing teal and sharing knowledge helps us create safe spaces for open conversations about trauma and recovery.

Join the movement this June—spread awareness, support research, and advocate for accessible care everywhere.

> TAMPEP calls for an immediate end of the stigmatization of sex workers! Together with sex workers across Europe, we ask for equal rights.

> The working and living conditions of sex workers in Europe, mainly migrant sex workers, remain characterized by precarious circumstances. Discrimination, stigmatization and the increasing call for restrictive laws, particularly at EU level, are further exacerbating the situation.

> Sex workers’ communities, worldwide, therefore commemorate that day to call attention and make demands.

> Every June 2nd we celebrate one of the most important days in the year: International Sex Workers' Day!

> International Sex Workers' Rights Day. Sex work is work.

> We demand the full recognition, protection, and fulfilment of sex workers' labour, health, and human rights in law and policy.

> Nothing about sex workers without sex workers. Sex workers are organisers, leaders, and agents of change. Their voices must be at the centre of all decisions that affect their lives.

> We reject all forms of criminalisation of sex work. We reject the ongoing conflation of sex work with trafficking and gender-based violence, narratives that fuel stigma, increase harm, and strip people of rights and safety. Sex workers' rights are human rights!

> Today, we amplify the voices of TGEU Board Members Tayri Fadil (she/her) and Alex Shah (she/her).

> “Today we honour SWers leading the struggle. We demand full decriminalisation, labour rights, and legal protection for migrant and trans SWers. End police harassment and persecution. Solidarity, resistance, and collective power until we win justice and safety for all SWers.” — Tayri Fadil

> “On this day, we amplify the political demands of sex workers for full decriminalisation, labour recognition, social protection, migration justice, and freedom from state violence, surveillance, and stigma. This day is a transnational call for bodily autonomy, intersectional justice, and the unequivocal protection of sex workers’ human rights. Sex workers are the ancient, present, and future of labour.” — Alex Shah

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘇𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 - 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟰, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

Schizophrenia is often misunderstood, surrounded by myths and stigma that make life harder for those affected. On this day, we focus on raising awareness, recognizing signs, and promoting early care to support individuals living with schizophrenia and their families.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘇𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗮?
A chronic mental health condition affecting about 23 million people worldwide, characterized by delusions, hallucinations, cognitive impairments, and shifts in behavior. It impacts social, occupational, and personal life.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗙𝗼𝗿:
- Fixed false beliefs (delusions)
- Seeing or hearing things that aren’t there (hallucinations)
- Disorganized or bizarre behavior
- Extreme agitation or slowed movements
- Reduced speech or emotional expression

𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 𝘃𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁
- 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵: People with schizophrenia cannot live alone.
𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁: With proper treatment and support, many can live independently.
- 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵: Individuals with schizophrenia are violent.
𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁: Most are not violent; violence is rare and often linked to other factors.
- 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵: Treatment doesn’t work.
𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁: Many respond well to medications and therapy, improving their quality of life.

𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 & 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁
Treatment is lifelong, combining medication and psychosocial therapy. Family support plays a vital role in recovery and relapse prevention.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽?
If you notice symptoms or if someone is losing touch with reality, seek help immediately from a mental health professional.

Let’s break the stigma together and support those affected.

Mental illness is often misunderstood because of stigma, fear, and misinformation. Myths like “mental illness is weakness” or “people with mental illness are dangerous” only create more silence and harm. Understanding the facts helps build compassion, awareness, and support for those struggling. 💙

This Is What Building Looks Like

Building doesn't feel like progress from the inside. There's no finish line. No moment where everything clicks. Just a quiet morning where you read something from six weeks ago and realise the effort level has dropped while the quality of the thing has held. That's what it looks like.

#MEAwarenessDay

ME/CVS-patiënten wachten gemiddeld 5 jaar op een diagnose. Vaak wordt hun lijden afgedaan als "psychisch" of "ingebeeld". Onbegrip en onvoldoende kennis bij artsen en instanties maakt hun strijd nog zwaarder. Tijd voor verandering. 💙 #MEcvs #EndTheStigma

Northeast Radio SD May 4

Stigma grows in silence. Healing begins in community. 🤝
For too long, talking about mental health has been seen as a sign of weakness — especially in rural communities.
But the truth is, speaking up takes incredible courage.
Today, challenge yourself: have one honest conversation about mental health.
It could be with a friend, a family member, or even yourself. Let's normalize the conversation.
