HR 141 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A resolution to declare July 1, 2025, as Invisible Wounds Day in the state of Michigan.

This resolution (HR 141) symbolically declares July 1, 2025, as "Invisible Wounds Day" in Michigan to raise awareness about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It aims to highlight the invisible mental health impacts of trauma - such as flashbacks, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness - experienced by both veterans and civilians, while addressing the stigma surrounding PTSD. The resolution has no legal effect or new funding; it is purely a symbolic gesture to validate those affected and encourage community support. It was introduced and adopted by the Michigan House of Representatives on July 1, 2025.
