Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 2025, as Post-Traumatic Stress Injury Awareness Month, and June 27, 2025, as Post-Traumatic Stress Injury Awareness Day in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution calls on Governor Kathy Hochul to officially recognize June 2025 as Post-Traumatic Stress Injury Awareness Month and June 27, 2025, as Post-Traumatic Stress Injury Awareness Day in New York State. The resolution provides context about post-traumatic stress, explaining that what was previously known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is now more accurately described as a "post-traumatic stress injury" (PTSI) due to scientific evidence showing physical brain changes from traumatic experiences. The resolution emphasizes that PTSI can result from various traumatic events beyond combat, such as interpersonal violence, life-threatening accidents, and natural disasters. It highlights the importance of compassion, timely treatment, and reducing stigma for those experiencing PTSI, particularly recognizing the experiences of military service members. The resolution aims to raise awareness, encourage understanding, and support those affected by post-traumatic stress, with copies of the resolution to be transmitted to Governor Hochul and Thomas Mahany, Executive Director of Honor for ALL.
