Posttraumatic Growth Day

June 13th is National Posttraumatic Growth Day.

Today is the day we shine a light on how struggle can be a catalyst for profound transformation, and that growth is possible in the aftermath of trauma.
Join us in honoring powerful stories
of growth. We hope you will watch the Choose Growth film
