On Sunday 9/8 at 3:00 PM we will be at Bassett High School finishing the climb. Walking up 2,200 steps in reflection and remembrance of all first responders that were unable to in 2001.

We encourage our community to partake in some form of physical activity if you are able to. Take a walk, ride a bike, climb some stairs with us or in your home.

Use this time to remember the sacrifice of others and in-turn consider ways that you can be a better citizen of the community.

Consider making a donation to your local first responders.

If you are joining us at Bassett on 9/8, we ask that you know your physical limitations, stay hydrated, and go at your own pace. This stair climb is not associated with any event, we are a group of individuals coming together in reflection and remembrance of 9/11/2001.

To help us raise awareness, please share and like our post.

We wanted to share some exciting news with everyone. Due to the overwhelming support and success of our inaugural Henry County Memorial Day Ruck event, we have decided to take the next step and work towards becoming a federally approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Over the next few months, we will begin transitioning our page's name and content to align with our organization. Our new organization is named ALL VETS. With a mission to Honor the Fallen and Strengthen the Living, we will be working toward organizing events within our community to encourage physical fitness and general activity; we will also be honoring the fallen through our yearly Memorial Day Ruck event and additional events coming soon! Stay tuned for many engaging things coming to Henry County and surrounding areas!

PTSD Awareness Day.

Today, we join the nation in recognizing PTSD Awareness Day. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) affects many individuals, including our brave first responders, veterans, and community members who have experienced traumatic events.

At the Henry County Sheriff's Office, we want to support all those who are battling PTSD. It is crucial to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and ensure that those in need receive the care and support they deserve.

What is PTSD? PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event.

How Can You Help?
1.Educate Yourself and Others: Understanding PTSD can foster empathy and support.

2.Listen and Support: Be there for those who need to talk. A simple act of listening can make a difference.

3.Encourage Professional Help: Guide those affected to seek professional treatment. Many resources and therapies are available

4.Resources:
•National Su***de Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255
•Veterans Crisis Line: 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1
•PTSD Alliance: www.ptsdalliance.org

If you or someone you know is struggling with PTSD, please know that help is available, and it's okay to ask for support. Together, we can make a difference.
