This year’s edition of Helping the Helpers, the 10th annual Awareness and Education Day for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is set for Saturday, October 26, at the STFX Schwartz Auditorium.
The event will feature speakers, first responders sharing their lived experiences, and a closing panel discussion. John Garth MacDonald, chair of the organizing committee, said the theme this year is one of hope. He noted the event is for first responders, front-line professionals, their families, and the community as a whole to help raise awareness of PTSD.
MacDonald said the event would not be possible without community support, volunteers, and fundraising. He thanked everyone involved for their work in keeping the event going.
