Raise PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) Awareness

[Editors Note: These resources were developed for War Veterans but anyone can be effected by PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). It's important to learn what it is and how you can help others or seek treatment if you have it.]

June is PTSD Awareness Month and we invite you to get involved in spreading the word about PTSD treatment and recovery. Everyone needs to know that PTSD treatment can help.

You can visit www.ptsd.va.gov throughout June for resources, links, and stories about PTSD, for the public and professionals. Every week will focus on a new topic so you can

take the step to:

·         Know more about PTSD

·         Challenge your beliefs

·         Explore the options

·         Reach out. Make a difference

Each year, the VA's National Center for PTSD joins with organizations and individuals across the country to mark June as PTSD Awareness Month. We are helping too. Join us.

How can you take the step to get involved? Set up an information table and make materials on PTSD available to the public. Share social media posts about PTSD. You could even gather a group to learn about PTSD using a book or online learning module. Visit www.ptsd.va.gov for resources and suggestions.

Candy Sale Fundraiser!

We are starting up our candy sale fundraiser again. This is something I used to do a lot when I started at the Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center. We are selling candy bars for $1 each. The candy is packed in bags of 20, making each bag worth $20. That plus some people will just want to donate makes this an easy fundraiser. If you are interested in helping out with this please let me know.
Thank you,

Warning about money scam!

Yesterday, someone contacted me about a person on Facebook that claimed to work for the Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center. The person said we were giving away money. To get the money your would have to send money. This is called a Nigerian Fee Scam. Do not send people money. When you send people money you must assume that you will never get it back. Do not use Western Union to send money.

The only reason to use Western Union is if you have a family member in trouble but do not listen to Facebook! If your family member or friend is able to go on Facebook then they can email or call. It is best to set up a safe word that only the family knows. Or ask the person a question only you and them would know the answer to.

Someone from the Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center will always have the option to use their work address that ends in @deafadvocacy.org Please ask us to send an email form our work address to confirm we work here.

I am going to post the message here please do not try to contact this person He is a scammer (HE LIE FALSE SCAM CHEAT. NO MONEY SEND. YOU NO EMAIL.)

The following is what was sent:

"Hello to you, Let you know I got win money 350,000pounds cash from the ORANGE COUNTY DEAF ADVOCACY CENTRE Jackpot program for improve deaf peoples life. If you want win money too then I give you Agent E-mail to contact Agent Gary for winner money Email is gary.poole72@hotmail... I'm say Very big thank to Agent Gary Poole because Gary Poole is Agent Man work ORANGE COUNTY DEAF ADVOCACY CENTRE for help deaf peoples.

Notice that he is using a hotmail address and not a deafdavocacy.org address. Also he is talking about pounds the money they use in the UK, and he spelled our organization's name wrong. We are a USA based company and there for we spell "Centre" as Center. We do translate our name but never when using any form of English. We are always the Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center.

Please be careful and forward any thing you have questions about to me. I will personally respond.

At your service,
