Letter from the Executive Director: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
June is PTSD Awareness Month. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is so complex. It encompasses so many aspects of people’s lives, such as substance misuse, depression, anger, trauma, and risk for suicide.
If you suspect someone may have PTSD, it's important to get evaluated by a medical professional. No one needs to suffer in silence. Infinity Peer Support will be offering a new group Dual Diagnosis meeting. This group is specifically for those who want recovery from their substance use disorder and mental health recovery; or may be in recovery and care to share their experience, strength and hope. The new Dual Diagnosis meeting will be at 12:30 at Infinity Peer Support.
In wellness,
Melissa Silvey
