How many protocols, commands, and codes do you know? What if you had the same toolkit for your mental health?
You are often the first voice a citizen hears in a crisis, and you have carefully worked to build a toolkit of ways to help. What if we added some tools to that kit to help you take care of the mental health impact of working in a dispatch center?
The job is brutal. You hear things that you will never forget. You deal with the panicked and the . . . . conspiracy theorists. You don’t always get to hear how a situation ends.
The job will always be stressful, that can’t be avoided. But we can help you build a strong protocol for taking care of yourself in the midst of it.

The first step is figuring out where you actually need support right now. Pick whichever one sounds most like you.
Practical Tools for Dispatch Mental Health
Dispatcher mental health is discussed more often these days, which is a good step, but it isn't enough. We can talk about it, but let's take action. The things you hear each shift can pile up, and you may not know what to do about it. Our programs are designed for early intervention, meaning that we track the most common first responder mental health concerns and build proactive and practical tools to help.
Sure, we can also step in after the crisis with trauma therapy and other sources of support, but at the core of our mission is a desire to help you take action before the crisis comes.
