911 calltakers are the nation’s first first responders, responsible for efficient, appropriate response to homicides, suicides, domestic violence, car crashes and more. The stress of this enormous responsibility is often magnified by mandatory overtime, the sedentary nature of the position and the fact that dispatchers often lack closure on 911 calls. Left unaddressed, the stress and vicarious trauma 911 calltakers experience can lead to dangerous mental and physical effects, including depression, chronic fatigue, obesity, heart disease, post-traumatic stress syndrome and burnout.
Lexipol’s Cordico app addresses these challenges, providing 911 calltakers with on-demand access to confidential, relevant and effective wellness resources, including:
