Jim MarshallFROM THE PREFACE BY TRACEY LAORENZA...Let me start off first with a couple questions to my fellow dispatchers. Have you ever looked at your console and said, â€œThatâ€™s it, Iâ€™m done?â€ Or turned to your partner and noticed they were struggling and you didnâ€™t know what to do or say to help them? Youâ€™re not alone. And thatâ€™s one of the driving forces behind this book. To let all dispatchers and call-takers know youâ€™re not alone. There is helpâ€”in many forms. As you journey through these pages, you will meet several people who have been touched by the 9-1-1 dispatch profession. Some of these people are, or have been, dispatchers themselves. Some are therapists, scientists, and even medical doctors. There are directors, and those who have served in the military. We are your authors. Our chapters will cover many facets of a world that deals with trauma on a daily basis. We have pooled our knowledge, our experiences, and our genuine concern for the health and wellbeing for all 9-1-1 Professionals to create this guide to help you survive and thrive in the 9-1-1 world. As you walk through these pages, our hope is for you to become physically, mentally and emotionally healthier than when you turned the first page. We hope for a more resilient you. But, this book is not just for dispatchers!To the rest of our readers, I would like to welcome you to the unknown. Each moment of a dispatcherâ€™s shift is just that: unknown. With each ring of the telephone there could be a child screaming for help; a mother who has lost her child; an elderly male who woke to find his wife has passed away in her sleep; an irate driver stuck in a traffic jam because a mile ahead someone has been killed in an accident the driver canâ€™t see; or it could quite simply be a lonely, elderly woman calling for the time, because she has no one else to call. Letâ€™s not forget the calls about the weather, road conditions, queries about when the electricity will come back on, the raccoons out in the daylight, and a myriad of other calls that are answered daily. You are about to experience some of the most heart-wrenching experiences dispatchers are required to handle. You will witness their steps from the depths of darkness into the bright light of resilience as they become stronger, healthier, Extraordinary Care Givers. You will walk alongside therapists who have fought to bring to light the trauma suffered by dispatchers. Hopefully you will begin to wonder compassionately about the dispatch profession. And I assure you, it is a profession. Dispatchers are a proud, yet humble group. But we are suffering. We have always been the nameless, faceless voice on the other side of the receiver, answering your calls and cries for help. Now it is your chance to help us.
