Miltary Related PTSD and Suicide Prevention

This project was awarded 2nd place in the Informational Exhibit category

The cost of serving in the military can be significant to those who made that decision, physically and mentally. One of the difficulties that service members or veterans face is Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD has many causes, symptoms and affects many service members and veterans. However, there are treatment options available. Another result that is too common is suicide. Like PTSD, there are many causes, signs, and treatment options for those who are thinking about or have attempted suicide. It is our goal to recognize and raise awareness for the sacrifices that these men and women bravely made.
