iRUN AND ROCK / UNITED BY TRAUMA$4 from the sale of each bracelet will be donated to iRun & Rock / United By Trauma
The United by Trauma Organization is a peer driven and not for profit organization attempting to remove the stigma and raise awareness surrounding PTSD and Operational Stress Injuries amongst emergency service personnel. Whether you’re a first responder or a community member, the mental health of lifesavers affects all of us. First responders deal with the aftermath of horrible tragedies on a regular basis. At work, these professionals need to be incredibly strong and resourceful and share a culture of courage and resilience. The downside of these strengths can be an unspoken code of silence which often leads to reluctance to access counselling and psychological treatment. Individuals with PTSD can suffer flashbacks and nightmares in which they repeatedly re-live the initial trauma, ultimately leading to them becoming emotionally numb. Experiencing PTSD after a workplace trauma is not unusual – it occurs in 15 to 25 per cent of all emergency workers. Funds raised are directed to PTSD research within first responders along with community awareness and outreach programs.
