After the Call
First responders are trained to run toward danger, protect our communities, and carry the weight of trauma most people will never see. But what happens after the call? After watch foundation is ran entirely by first responders for first responders to get you the support you need.
After the Call, the podcast dedicated to the stories and struggles behind the badge, the turnout gear, and the uniform..
Each week, we’ll bring you powerful conversations with first responders, mental health professionals, and advocates who are breaking the stigma, sharing their journeys, and offering real solutions. We’ll talk about PTSD, resilience, family impact, and the resources that can make a difference.
Because the job doesn’t just leave scars on the body — it affects the mind, the heart, and the people who serve alongside us. And no one should have to carry that burden alone.
This is After the Call — where you’ll find Strength through resilience.

After The Call: Ty Doolittle
This episode will move you. Ty Doolittle began his journey as a Marine, then became a police officer serving years in the gang unit. He faced chaos, trauma, and the heavy weight that comes with protecting others. Through it all, his wife Karen stood by his side as he fought through PTSD and learned how to heal.
Today, Ty and Karen run Serving First Responders, a lifeline for those who have spent their careers serving others and are now facing life after the badge. Their story is one of raw honesty, heartbreak, and redemption.
Ty’s courage to speak about his battles, and Karen’s unwavering love, remind us that healing is possible and no one has to face the darkness alone.
If you or someone you love is nearing retirement from public safety, reach out to Serving First Responders. The support they offer is truly life changing.
