Our Founder
Brian Thompson
Brian’s began his career in the Illinois fire service in 1992, where he actively served as a line firefighter/paramedic. For thirty years, this role proved to be the best calling of his life. The connections and friendships forged during this time have been abundant, and he deeply appreciates all that he has learned.
He believes that CALLING 912 is important because every first responder needs support and a spot at the table. This support, in its many forms, should be available to all. There should be no barriers to first responder support for first responders.
Brian is dedicated to helping responders learn to use a proactive approach to wellness and mental health. He emphasizes that mental health and wellness isn’t a fad or a fix, but rather a growth mindset.
