Jim Marshall, one of the leading voices in the 911 industry for mental health and dispatcher wellness, joins the podcast in Episode 23 for a compelling look into the lives of emergency telecommunicators.
As one of the co-founders of the 911 Training Institute, Jim examines the relationship between law enforcement officers and those who work in dispatch.
As a licensed mental health professional, Marshall also explores the role that “survivor’s guilt” and PTSD play in the lives of telecommunicators while supplying the knowledge and resources to counter these stressors before they cause self-destructive behavior.
