Glen Simpson is the Senior Director at Community Ambulance and has been a part of the EMS community here in Las Vegas since 2004. He shares some of the struggles of maintaining good mental health in a career where you are constantly expose to trauma and stress. Glen was a first responder at the Route 91 mass shooting in 2017, and he shared an in-depth account of that night and the impact it had on him.
Some major topics covered:
- some of the most tragic/impactful calls he's received over the years
- the struggle of remaining emotionally available for the other people in your life when you have to turn your emotions off for work
- the stigma around mental health & speaking up when you need help
- how, despite witnessing atrocities, he still believes that 99% of people in the world are good
