In this episode, we explore the hidden mental toll faced by 9-1-1 dispatchers. Kathy and Jason Lott, founders of the Thin Gold Line, share their personal story: how PTSD forced Jason into medical retirement and how they transformed pain into purpose by supporting dispatchers nationwide. We examine the pivotal moment in Jason’s journey, what healing entails, and the importance of compassion and connection in fostering healthier dispatch centers.
