Every year, June shines a spotlight on PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), a condition affecting millions worldwide. Trauma doesnโ€™t discriminateโ€”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.

- About 7โ€“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.

Letโ€™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 Juneโ€”spread awareness, support research, and advocate for accessible care everywhere.

10th annual NY Dog Film Fest to show dog-themed shorts at Gateway Film Center this weekend

The inspiration for a dog-focused film festival coming to Gateway Film Center this weekend actually came from an entirely different kind of pet. Tracie Hotchner, a pet wellness advocate and host of NPRโ€™s Dog Talk, said she remembers attending a lawn showing of curated cat videos put on by the Minneapolis-based Walker Art Center roughly [โ€ฆ]

Because a lot is going on, I want to remind or ask the fediverse to please CW or tag political events and news. There are many on here who suffer from anxiety disorders and PTSD.

Simply hashtagging a topic, which can be filtered by users, helps emmensely. A CW is the most useful, but I understand there are things people don't want hidden like that.

It helps us to choose when and how to see information that can exacerbate illness and symptoms. Thank you!
