Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This Senate resolution expresses formal congressional support for designating June 2025 as National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month and June 27, 2025 as National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Day. While non-binding, the measure urges the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DoD), along with the broader medical community, to educate the public and military communities about the causes, symptoms, and treatment of post-traumatic stress, promote cultural change to reduce stigma, encourage leadership to support appropriate treatment for service members, and recognize the impact of PTSD on spouses and families. The resolution frames PTSD as a health issue with substantial veteran impact and advocates for timely treatment to reduce complications and suicides. It does not authorize spending or create new programs; its effect is to elevate awareness and encourage action by relevant agencies and communities.
