As a former paramedic, Vincent Savoia established the Tema Conter Memorial Trust in 2001 to raise awareness of post-traumatic stress disorder and critical incident stress among emergency service workers. Now a national organization, the Trust conducts research while also providing peer support and family assistance, referrals, a scholarship, and mental health training for emergency service workers.
