What is a gratitude Jar?

 A Simple Practice with a Powerful Impact


In a job where the stress runs high and recognition is often quiet, this gratitude jar gives dispatchers a space to reflect, reset, and reconnect with the good, no matter how small.


Whether it’s a positive call outcome, a supportive teammate, or simply getting through a tough shift, writing it down helps shift the focus from overwhelm to appreciation.


It’s not about ignoring the hard moments,  it’s about honoring the good that exists alongside them. One note at a time, this jar becomes a gentle reminder that your efforts matter and that even on the hardest days, there’s always something worth holding onto.

How to utilize...

Each jar comes with small strips of paper, a mini Sharpie, and uplifting stickers, little sparks of joy.

Keep it nearby: in your comm center, at your desk, or at home.


At the end of a shift, or whenever you feel moved, take a moment to write down something you’re thankful for. It could be something big, like a successful call,  or something small, like a teammate who made you laugh or a moment of calm in a hectic day.


Drop the note in the jar. Over time, those slips become a powerful collection of perspective, resilience, and reminders that even on the hardest days, something good can still be found.

When you need a boost, pull one out and read it, you’ll be surprised how far you’ve come

Bridge of Support

A place to pause, reflect, and remind yourself: you matter, and you’re not alone.


This gratitude jar isn’t meant to replace deeper support, but it can serve as a quiet, steady bridge while you find your way to it.


In the moments between tough calls and long shifts, writing down something positive, no matter how small, can offer a sense of grounding.


It’s a simple tool to help you reconnect with your purpose, with yourself, and with hope.

Peer support, therapy, and other resources are essential parts of long-term wellness, this jar simply gives you a place to start.
