We are so thankful for our team at Dade County 911 and we know that very few people can do what they do. Stay strong, DCES💛.
If you are a responder in the Dade, The Clark Center is a wonderful resource for you as well.
Today, we recognize National 911 Telecommunications Su***de Awareness Day.
Before the sirens. Before the lights. Before help arrives on scene. There is a voice on the other end of the line.
911 telecommunicators carry the fear, panic, grief, and uncertainty of countless calls, often without ever seeing how the story ends.
Today, we remember the telecommunicators we have lost to su***de and remind those behind the headset that their mental health matters, too.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out:
📞 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 for free, confidential support available 24/7.
📱 Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741 for free, confidential, 24/7 support.

Your life matters.
