Shedding Light on PTSD

November 11th is a day of profound significance in the United States – Veterans Day. It’s a day dedicated to recognizing and honoring the brave men and women who have served in the armed forces, sacrificing so much to protect our freedoms. This Veterans Day, we want to shed light on an issue that affects many veterans long after they’ve left the battlefield – Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In this blog post, we’ll explore the importance of raising awareness about PTSD among veterans and introduce the specialized approach to healing offered by Dr. Rosilda Alves.
