June is PTSD Awareness Month
Did you know? Most people will have stress-related reactions following a traumatic event, but not everyone will develop PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD generally last four weeks or more and these symptoms can make it hard for an individual to function in their daily life as they had in the past.
PTSD symptoms often include:
- Reliving the event through nightmares and flashbacks
- Avoiding situations that remind you of the event such as large crowds or driving a car
- Negative changes in beliefs and feelings. This can include feelings of guilt, fear or shame.
- Feeling keyed up or jittery
June is PTSD Awareness Month and help is available on and off campus. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, take an online self assessment at www.PTSDScreening.org.
If you are a full-time student, please call the University Counseling Center at (585) 275-3113 to speak to one of our trained therapists.
