I have a relative that does run 911 calls. If you’re OK with me asking, do you have any advice for him when it comes to recovering emotionally after calls involving kids? He has kids himself and he’s always shaken for a while after anything with a kid.
Whatever company he’s working for should be providing counseling services. Any call that is stressful, should be eligible for CISD(critical incident stress debriefing).
Thanks! I’ve tried to broach the topic of counseling before, but they’re in a red state and it sounds like there’s a huge stigma against actually using it. I know it would be illegal for anyone to disclose he asked about it, but that doesn’t stop small town bullshit. Then people wonder why these areas have brain drain problems…
