🌟 June is PTSD Awareness Month 🌟
Every June, we come together to raise awareness of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) — conditions that affect millions in the UK, yet still remain widely misunderstood and too often overlooked.
It’s estimated that 4 in 100 people in the UK are living with PTSD at any one time – that’s over 2.6 million people. And yet, up to 70% of those with PTSD or C-PTSD don’t receive any professional support.
Some may not realise they have PTSD or C-PTSD at all, mistaking their symptoms for something they just have to live with. Others have a diagnosis but aren’t aware that effective, evidence-based treatments exist – and that recovery is possible, even years after the trauma occurred.
🧠 PTSD UK is the only UK charity dedicated to raising awareness of PTSD and C-PTSD – no matter the trauma that caused it. This PTSD Awareness Month, we’re asking you to help us make this a turning point. Together, we can create a world where the effects of trauma are met with understanding, empathy and healing.
💙 Here’s how you can get involved this June:
✔️ Start conversations. Talk to your friends, family, colleagues and community about PTSD and C-PTSD. Sharing your experience or raising awareness can help others feel seen and understood.
✔️ Use your platform. Share posts, facts, and stories on social media. Use hashtags like and change your profile picture to show your support.
✔️ Fundraise or join an event. Help us make an impact by raising funds or registering for one of our events. Every penny goes towards helping people affected by PTSD and C-PTSD.
✔️ Share our resources. Download and use our free posters, leaflets, and information packs to raise awareness in your workplace, school, or local community.
📅 PTSD Awareness Day is on 27th June, and we’ll be sharing powerful content all month long to help educate and inspire.

Let’s make June a month of hope, visibility and real change.
Because Tomorrow CAN be a new day. 💙
