Vestivia Hills, AL – Sojourn Counseling is launching a groundbreaking initiative to raise awareness and support for individuals affected by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). To encourage participation, Sojourn Counseling is covering the $50 pre-commitment fee for the PTSD Awareness Distinctive License Plate, making it free for the first 1,000 pre-commitments made by May 15.
PTSD is a significant mental health concern, often resulting from traumatic experiences such as combat, accidents, or abuse. Despite its prevalence, stigma and barriers to care continue to challenge those affected. The PTSD Awareness Distinctive License Plate aims to spark conversations, reduce stigma, and foster a supportive community.
“By covering the pre-commitment fee, we want to eliminate any barriers that might prevent people from joining this movement,” said Beau Armistead, Director of Sojourn Counseling. “This license plate is more than just a way to raise vital funds for our counseling services; it’s a message of hope and healing that will be seen on roads across Alabama. Together, we can create a more compassionate and supportive community for individuals affected by PTSD.”
If 1,000 pre-commitments are secured, the initiative will move forward, and funds generated from ongoing sales of the PTSD Awareness Distinctive License Plate will directly support Sojourn Counseling’s mission to provide accessible mental health services. Over five years, this initiative has the potential to generate more than $200,000 to sustain critical counseling services and help bridge the gap for those in need.
Beyond fundraising, the license plates serve as traveling billboards carrying an empowering message: “There is hope for healing from PTSD.” Each plate directs viewers to AtEase.org, where individuals can access vital resources and support.
The PTSD Awareness Distinctive License Plate is available for pre-commitment now at www.AtEase.org. Sojourn Counseling encourages everyone to take part in this opportunity to raise awareness and make a lasting impact for those affected by PTSD.
