Description
911 dispatchers have some of the most stressful jobs in the world. They are constantly helping people through the toughest moments of their lives.

Researcher Elizabeth Linos at UC Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy has found a simple but effective way to address burnout among dispatchers by giving them a sense of community on the job.
