For this weeks infographics I chose to do them on PTSD in Veterans and Correctional Officers. This topic hits home for me because my grandpa suffered from PTSD all his life after serving our country and my dad is a correctional officer that struggles at points. Each of these infographics took my around 2-4 hours to make using Canva. I found my research to be shocking, and so upsetting. These topics don’t get enough attention.
