Most police officers dodge the “worst call” question. Here’s what happened the day I didn’t — and why it stayed with me

What an incredible week at EMSAC 2025! Lilly especially enjoyed getting hugs and scratches from Colorado’s First Responders! Amazing time catching up with old friends and making new ones! Thank you to EMSAC - Emergency Medical Services Association of Colorado for putting on such an amazing conference and for allowing ReThink Mental Health to be a part of it. We are already looking forward to next year!

The best comment received all weekend was “you’re like the most un-nursiest nurse I know because you just get us. You fit right in. It’s like you’re not even a nurse” 😂😂.

The Broken Responder thank you for allowing me to tell a small part of my story. I hope that it encourages and gives hope to others. I enjoyed every moment of this interview and I’m so grateful. If you are struggling. Please please reach out. If not to us, please go to the resources tab on our website. There’s help that isn’t one-size-fits-all. NO ONE ever needs to fight alone. 🎈

THIS. This is the very reason that ReThink Mental Health and Wellness exists. We are current and former first responders and or veterans ourselves and we’ve been there too. We are a safe space and place to land for our fellow brothers and sisters in uniform. 

Nicole Bergeron had responded to countless emergencies in two decades as a firefighter and paramedic. But nothing could prepare her for the call when Alexa Bartell was killed by a rock thrown through her windshield.

A Paramedic with PTSD fell into a hole and couldn’t get out. When a senior medic walked by, the paramedic called out for help, but the senior medic yelled back, "Suck it up son, dig deep and drive on," then threw him a shovel. The paramedic did as he was told and dug that hole deeper.

A Paramedic Supervisor went by and the paramedic called out for help again. The Supervisor told him "use the tools your supervisor has given you", then threw him a bucket. The paramedic used the tools and he dug the hole deeper still and filled the bucket.

A psychiatrist walked by. The paramedic called, “Help! I can’t get out!” so the psychiatrist gave him some drugs and said, "Take this. It will relieve the pain and you will forget about the hole.” The paramedic said "thanks" and followed his advice, but when the pills ran out he was still in the hole.

A well-known psychologist rode by and heard the paramedic's cries for help. He stopped and asked, “How did you get there? Were you born there? Did your parents put you there? Tell me about yourself, it will alleviate your sense of loneliness.” So the paramedic talked with him for an hour, then the psychologist had to leave, but he said he’d be back next week. The paramedic thanked him, but he was still in the hole.

Another Paramedic, just like him, happened to be passing by. The paramedic with PTSD cried out, “Hey, help me. I’m stuck in this hole!” and right away the other Medic jumped down in there with him. The paramedic with PTSD started to panic and said, “What are you doing? Now we’re both stuck down here!” But the other Medic just smiled and replied, “It’s okay, calm down brother. I’ve been here before..... I know how to get out.”

Please reach out to someone if you are struggling.
