June is PTSD Awareness Month. 💚

Experiencing trauma can have lasting effects on a person’s mental health, relationships, and daily life. PTSD can develop after a wide range of difficult experiences, and no two people’s journeys look exactly the same.

Some people may experience intrusive memories, heightened anxiety, trouble sleeping, emotional numbness, or a desire to avoid reminders of a traumatic event. These challenges can feel overwhelming, but support is available.

The good news is that recovery is possible. With the right combination of treatment, support, and coping tools, people living with PTSD can find healing and hope.

If you or someone you care about may be struggling with PTSD, consider taking a free confidential screening: https://www.ptsd.va.gov/screen/

In Tampa Bay, the top barriers to receiving mental health care are cost and lack of insurance coverage. Too many people still struggle to access the support they need.

That’s why Project Return exists: to provide an accepting community focused on recovery, connection, dignity, and support. Our member-driven environment helps individuals enrich their lives while knowing they are never alone in their journey.

05/30/2026

27% of Tampa Bay residents reported feeling isolated because of their mental or emotional condition in a recent Tampa Bay Thrives study. Loneliness and isolation can have a major impact on mental wellness, which is why connection matters so much.

Project Return is dedicated to creating a welcoming space where members can connect through friendship, art, shared experiences, and meaningful daily activities. Every conversation, class, and smile helps remind someone they belong.

05/30/2026

According to a recent Tampa Bar Thrives report, nearly 7 in 10 Tampa Bay residents experienced at least one poor mental health day in the past month. Mental health challenges are more common than many people realize, and no one should have to face them alone.

At Project Return, we provide a safe, supportive community where people living with mental illness can build connections, discover purpose, and share in recovery together. Because healing happens in community.
