At PHC, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive healthcare solutions to the Pasadena community. We understand that mental health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being, especially for our veterans. In this blog post, we will shed light on the topic of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and its impact on the veterans in our community.
Understanding PTSD and Its Impact
PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a condition that can occur after someone has been through a traumatic experience. It might lead to symptoms like recurring nightmares, feeling constantly on edge, or avoiding situations that remind veterans of their past experiences. Many veterans in Pasadena might be dealing with these challenges, and it’s important to provide understanding and support to help them overcome these difficulties.
Why Veterans Are Affected
Our veterans have often faced dangerous and distressing situations during their military service. These experiences can lead to traumatic memories that continue to affect them even after they return to civilian life. The transition from military to civilian life can also introduce new stressors, contributing to the development of PTSD. It’s important to remember that veterans from all branches of the military can be impacted, and at PHC, we are here to offer our support.

At PHC, we value our veterans by ensuring our services are here to offer support. Our team understands the unique experiences that veterans have gone through, and we provide care that takes these experiences into account. It is our goal to provide a space for our veterans so they can feel safe to heal.
Collaboration and Community
PHC believes in the power of collaboration and community support. We work with organizations like the Salvation Army and the American Legion to create a network of care. Through our work with them, we aim to raise awareness about mental health issues among veterans and provide them with the tools they need to lead fulfilling lives.
