PTSD911

PTSD911 is a powerful and eye-opening documentary that confronts the mental health crisis facing America’s first responders, including 9-1-1 dispatchers, firefighters, paramedics, and law enforcement officers. Directed by Conrad Weaver, the film sheds light on the unseen emotional toll that these professionals endure due to daily exposure to trauma and high-stress situations. By giving voice to their struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), PTSD911 seeks to raise awareness, educate audiences, and drive change in how society supports the mental health of first responders.

The film follows the lives of several first responders who have experienced PTSD firsthand. Through raw, intimate interviews and compelling storytelling, PTSD911 captures their journeys from initial trauma to the challenges of seeking support and healing. Their stories reveal the psychological scars they carry and the barriers they face from their own agencies when trying to access mental health care. As they share their paths toward resilience and recovery, PTSD911 aims to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues and foster open dialogue within the first responder community and beyond.
