Community Support Needed ❤️

Our EMS family is reaching out during a difficult time for one of our own. A dedicated Region 3 EMS Coordinator and her family are currently facing unexpected health-related challenges, bringing added stress to everyday life and ongoing expenses.

While this request was not asked for by her personally, SEEMSDA wanted to come together as a community to offer support in any way we can. If you are able, we ask you to consider making a donation to help ease the burden during this time. Every contribution—big or small—can make a meaningful difference.

If donating isn’t possible, we completely understand. Please continue to lift her and her family up in your thoughts and prayers, and feel free to share words of encouragement. Support comes in many forms, and all of it matters.

Thank you for standing together and taking care of one another—it’s what makes this EMS community so special.

Direct source of donations will be accepted through her personal Venmo account. Please use the -Jernigan in Venmo to send funds.

Thank you,
SEEMSDA

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

In Tennessee, we take pride in looking out for one another—but real strength also means checking in, speaking up, and asking for help when it’s needed.

Mental health is part of *all* of our lives. Some days are heavier than others, and that’s okay. What matters is knowing you don’t have to carry it alone.

Reach out. Listen without judgment. Show up for your people—and for yourself.

This month, let’s move past stigma and build a culture where taking care of your mind is just as normal as taking care of your body.

YOU matter. YOUR story matters. And support is always within reach.

You can use 988lifeline.org or call or text 988. If calling or texting please press 0 to be connected to a real counselor. This is provided through the TN State Website.

At the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, we understand that life’s challenges can sometimes be difficult. Whether you’re facing mental health struggles, emotional distress, alcohol or drug use concerns…
