Crisis Referral Services for Public Safety Employees

On March 8, 2012, our guest is Sean Riley, a former Kirkland police officer who founded Safe Call Now, a non-profit crisis referral service for public safety employees. 

According to the Safe Call Now, “Public Safety is a stressful, demanding career. You keep communities safe. You protect life and property. You enforce laws. You resolve conflicts. Public safety rests on your shoulders. What happens when your personal life and career are out of balance? You are going through a divorce. Your finances are out of control. You can’t sleep. A traumatic event at work is haunting you. Drugs and alcohol seem to lessen the effects. Don’t ignore the warning signs. Safe Call Now was established by public safety employees for public safety employees. Talk to someone who understands the stressful demands of your work. It’s a simple and confidential phone call away.”
