RESPONDERS

First responders often face challenging and traumatic events which can profoundly affect their mental well being and performance. This will not only have negative consequences for them but also their agencies.

The Higher platform addresses key behavioral traits in first responders: Assertiveness, Self Control, Consciousness and Control.

It’s less expensive to prevent!

Proactive approach for the wellness of our community’s first responders by gauging behavioral temperature

35% of Police Officers suffer from PTSD (from The Ruderman White Paper Update on Mental Health and Suicide of First Responders). This can lead to massive liabilities for departments, from misconduct to excessive force.

Performance and team cohesion are critical when quickly responding to emergencies. PTSD and ongoing trauma can lead to loss of life and property.

Dispatchers are vital first responders who manage critical communication lines. Any impact on their decision-making can have life-changing consequences.

In order to focus on the micro-issues, leaders need to first build social relationship capital with the group.

What's in place to mitigate those casualties?

The most valuable commodity is people.

What are we doing to help them help themselves?

When people dial 911, they are seeking hope and reassurance that help will arrive promptly. However, it's important to recognize that the reality of the situation could be different. Instead of a well-equipped and prepared emergency responder, they might encounter a wounded or ill-prepared individual.

The idea behind making good use of our platform is to ensure that such situations do not occur and that the qualified individuals who are going to be in the positions of care are as accurate as possible. This is made possible with the help of Higher, as it streamlines and finds the best possible candidate for the available positions.

With this, we will achieve and identify certain aspects that are important when considering the acceptance of a new candidate into our team and their fit with our culture. Aspects such as the following:

Settling in = finding their tribe

Frustration = bad decisions from leadership

Daily drips of trauma

Childhood traumas they didn't even know about

Trying to just numb the pain

An officer's ethical compromise begins when the supervisors dismiss or condone minor infractions
