The pandemic of the unvaccinated is a tragedy that is preventable. People are dying and will die from COVID-19 who don't have to.

If you haven't gotten vaccinated, do it now. It could save your life and the lives of those you love.

@16thSMA @UnderSecArmy Can we discuss how to change social norms within the military so active duty members engage in concurrent brain care to reduce traumatic stress symptoms and thereby decrease self medication, domestic violence, and suicide? #PTSD

The more I heal, the more convinced I am that the greatest tool to heal, is people. People who sit with us in our darkest hours. People who hear us when we cry for help. People who hold space & remind us we’re not alone. This is the ultimate balm to the open wounds of trauma.

Much of the plethora of loneliness, alienation, and addictive distraction that plagues modern industrial societies is a result of people being taught and forced to reject, pathologize or punish so many of their own and others’ normal feeling states. - #FightTheStigma #CPTSDchat

Stress is often at the root of the dysregulation that leaves survivors struggling in their lives and relationships.
Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®) can lower stress by releasing tension. This article looks at how TRE® can help survivors self-regulate. https://t.co/2ySDpuEvuK

In a new PSA, Super Bowl-winning quarterback Brett Favre urges parents of children under 14 not to let them play tackle football due to the risk of developing CTE.

[Chris Nowinski, Ph.D. @ChrisNowinski1]

We’ve diagnosed 16 former HS football players with #CTE. 15/16 began playing before age 14.

The best way to prevent CTE is to delay the introduction of tackle football for kids. Choose flag.

Thanks to @BrettFavre for sharing the @ConcussionLF vision.
