The Full Story Behind Team Pruitt
He spent 27 years in dispatch. She's spent 10 and still works full time behind the console. They met in high school, married before the job ever entered their lives — and built everything that followed on a foundation of peer support, survival, and the refusal to stay quiet. Team Pruitt is the only speaking team in this space who has been on every side of this issue. In crisis and providing care. On the dispatch floor and in advocacy. In the dark — and in the work of finding the way back. Today, they bring that lived experience to keynotes, breakout sessions, workshops, and agency trainings focused on telecommunicator mental health and suicide prevention. Their work is for the ones still answering the calls — and the leaders who are ready to protect them.
