Coming to a screen near you: PTSD911

August 2, 2023

We know that PTSD is rampant in emergency services. First responders see and experience levels of trauma the average person will never fully understand.

PTSD911 is a documentary about first responders and the lingering issues from repeat trauma. According to the documentary website, "PTSD911 will provide information about a path forward from PTSD that does not lead to suicide, but rather leads to return to a fulfilling life that involves serving others. Fire, Police, EMS, and 911 operators all came into their respective professions to help others. They want nothing more than to be able to return whole to their jobs. But, in the circumstance of PTSD, help is needed for healing. Department leaders need to develop programs and policies to help their members. This takes education and awareness, which PTSD911 will provide. Also, the responders need to know there is help available, which will be another critically important message in this film."

South Carolina First Responders Assistance and Support Team has partnered with ConjoStudios, LLC to show the film in North Myrtle Beach on Wednesday, September 28 at 7 p.m. at Conference Center Barefoot Resort; in Columbia on Thursday, September 28 at 7 p.m. at Calvary Chapel Northeast; and a third showing is scheduled in Greenville on Friday, September 29 at 7 p.m. at Boiling Springs Station 15. All screenings will feature a Q&A with documentary director Conrad Weaver and members of the public safety community in the area.

Tickets are $10. Buy your tickets to the North Myrtle Beach, Columbia, or Greenville screening.
