AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution officially designates the month of June as Veteran Suicide and PTSD Awareness Month for a period of ten years, starting in 2019, acknowledging the significantly higher rates of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and suicide among veterans compared to the general population. PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, and the resolution highlights that veterans are disproportionately affected by it due to the prevalence of traumatic situations they face. The resolution emphasizes the tragic consequences of PTSD, including suicide, which impacts not only veterans but also their families and communities, and calls for increased public awareness and support for prevention and treatment services.
