LAVO: Louisiana Victim Outreach Program

Native American communities have enriched our society's unique cultures, traditions, and history. As we observe National Native American Heritage Month, it's an opportunity for us to learn more about their vibrant community and understand the unique challenges they face due to their traumatic history. Let's take this time to appreciate and acknowledge the contributions of Native peoples and strive towards a more inclusive future for all.
Let us take a moment to recognize and celebrate the rich culture and heritage of the Native community. Throughout this month, we will shine a light on their members, art, businesses, and way of life. Join us in honoring those who have paved the way for future generations.

Join us in raising awarenss for PTSD during this important month dedicated to understanding and supporting those affected. Today, on PTSD Screening Day, let's encourage each other to proritize mental health and seek help when needed.
