Today (27th June) is National PTSD Awareness Day

Posted on: June 27, 2025

PTSD affects people from all walks of life — veterans, survivors, emergency responders, and everyday people who’ve faced trauma.

On this important day, let’s raise awareness, show support, and make sure help is easy to find.

💻 At www.essexmap.co.uk, you can discover local mental health services, support groups, and community initiatives that offer a safe space for those affected by PTSD and other mental health challenges.

✨ Are you part of a group or service that supports people with PTSD in Essex?

List it on the Essex Map to reach more people who need you.

Together, we can help break the stigma and build a stronger, more supportive community. 💚
