In Canada, June is PTSD Awareness Month. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can occur after a person has experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, causing intense fear, helplessness, or horror. While PTSD can affect anyone, military personnel, emergency personnel, rescue workers, first responders, journalists, and families of victims are at higher risk.

The Legion offers a variety of Peer Support Programs for Veterans and their families. The Legion can also refer Veterans and their families to a number of organizations with programs offering supports and services.
