June is PTSD Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, reduce the stigma and encourage conversations about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

PTSD can affect anyone who has experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. By learning more about PTSD and supporting those impacted, we can help create a community where people feel comfortable seeking help.

Recovery is possible, and effective treatments are available. If you or someone you know is struggling, seeking help is an important first step.

Practicing safe boating is important to help keep you and those around you safe while out on the water.

Before heading out, make sure everyone onboard is wearing a life jacket, safety equipment is easily accessible, and weather conditions are checked ahead of time. Always boat sober, stay alert of your surroundings and let someone know your plans before leaving the dock.
