When The Call Hits Home Releases Powerful Episode on First Responder Trauma and Resilience

KENOSHA, Wis. - EntSun -- The acclaimed podcast When The Call Hits Home returns with a profoundly moving episode, featuring retired Louisville police sergeant Jim Woosley and host Jennifer, who also happens to be his daughter. This episode, titled "Facing a Critical Incident:  A First Responder's Experience During the 1989 Louisville Mass Shooting," delves into one of the most harrowing days in Jim's law enforcement career: responding to a workplace mass shooting in downtown Louisville in 1989.

In a candid, emotional conversation, Jim retraces the events of that morning, from the initial call over the radio to the heroic efforts to save victims, including a young mother on her first day back from maternity leave. The episode provides an unfiltered glimpse into the trauma faced by first responders, the second-guessing that follows, and—remarkably for the time—the introduction of early mental health support for officers.
