Every dispatcher has a story worth telling — and yours could inspire someone who needs it most.

At ESA 911 Dispatchers, we believe that sharing our experiences helps strengthen the 911 community, reduce stigma around stress and mental health, and remind each other that we’re never alone.

Whether it’s a moment of courage, compassion, or calm — we’d love to hear from you.
Your story could be featured on The Calm Blog, where dispatchers, responders, and animal lovers connect through real stories and shared hearts.

🦨 What We’re Looking For

You can also attach a photo (optional) to bring your experience to life!

Once submitted, our team (and Nugget 🦨) will review your story for inclusion in the ESA 911 Dispatchers Blog.
