Overcoming the Fear of Calling for Help
In an emergency, feeling overwhelmed and terrified is a completely natural reaction. If you find yourself freezing up or worrying that you won't know what to say, take a deep breath and try to stay focused on getting the help you need.
Remember that the people answering your call are trained professionals. They handle frightening situations every single day and completely understand that you might be upset, shaking, or scared. You do not need to have everything figured out before you dial; let the dispatchers do their job and guide you through it.
Their primary goal is to support you and get assistance to your location as quickly as possible. Doing your best to stay calm and answering their questions clearly will make a huge difference in keeping you and others safe.
