AI Summary
This Resolution declares June 27, 2020, as "Post-Traumatic Stress Injury Awareness Day" and the entire month of June 2020 as "Post-Traumatic Stress Injury Awareness Month" in Illinois. It emphasizes that Post-Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI) is a treatable brain injury, not a character flaw, and that using the term "injury" instead of "disorder" (referring to the older term Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD) helps reduce stigma and encourages those affected, including victims of trauma, service members, and veterans, to seek help. The Resolution urges the Department of Public Health and the Department of Veterans Affairs to continue educating the public about the causes, symptoms, and treatment of PTSI.
