Dispatcher Health Survey

Dispatcher Mental Health Crisis Response

Part One

The vision of Alabama Fellowship of Fire Chaplains (AFFC) is to have a trained chaplain in every fire department available to every first responder and their family, 24/7, providing spiritual and emotional support for their overall mental health and wellness. However, among first responders, one group that is constantly overlooked and underserved is our public safety telecommunicators.


This is where you come in. We strive to serve each public safety telecommunicator, whether you're a call taker or dispatcher with fire or police. By participating in this survey, you can help pinpoint exactly what is needed in your field and at your desk. Not every first responder's stressors and needs are the same, and public safety telecommunicators have unique and equally important needs.
