The League of Minnesota Cities has hired Lora Setter to fill a newly created public safety program coordinator position. Lora will be working with public safety groups, treatment professionals, policy makers and other stakeholders to promote research, awareness, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of PTSD as it relates to emergency responders.
“Minnesota’s public safety professionals are there for our communities every day. Our goal is to make sure they have the resources and support they need to continue to provide these essential services,” said Trust Administrator Dan Greensweig. “Setter’s experience and expertise will help us accomplish that.”
The creation of this position is in response to member engagement and claims data indicating that a focus on mental health will help cities maintain high-quality public safety services.
Trust Board Chair and Centerville City Councilmember D. Love added, “We are hearing from our members that health and safety of the public and first responders is major priority. Aligning with our values, we felt a need to respond, build further expertise, and provide leadership on this risk issue in an effort to assist our members with new approaches.”
We welcome Lora on board and look forward to working with her.
