First Responders Speak Out on Mental Health

A gripping new documentary, The Call, exposes the hidden battles first responders in New Mexico face daily—mental health struggles, emotional exhaustion, and the urgent need for support. Through powerful stories like that of Paul Bearce, a former fire chief who turned advocate after a devastating suicide in his department, the film breaks silence and pushes for change. Bearce’s mission? To normalize asking for help and foster resilience in a culture that often glorifies toughness. Already award-winning at Canadian and French festivals, The Call invites the community to a screening and panel on June 20th at the South Valley Community Center—tickets $10. This is more than a film—it’s a rallying cry for compassion, understanding, and action for those who serve us every day. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
