About the Greg Lindmark Foundation from their website:

Greg spent his life helping others, many times quietly. It is our goal as a foundation and family to continue Greg’s work by helping fellow police officers and first responders. Being first on the scene, whether for a gruesome murder, suicide, or a car accident, first responders can become victims of underlying issues of mental health. They need emotional and self-care support throughout their careers. Mental health is equally as important as physical health.

Our goal as a foundation and a family is to bring mental health to the forefront through awareness, education, and confidential counseling.

The Greg Lindmark Foundation is a 501(c)(3) foundation. This confidential program lessens the impact of cumulative stress and trauma on first responders by providing education and support programs that enhance their emotional well-being.
