PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Residents are banding together to organize a car raffle, which ultimately supports efforts to offer free, confidential therapy to all first responders.

The nonprofit Stomping Out the Stigma and its founder, Tim Roberto, are heading up efforts.

"We're in a crisis right now, a mental health meltdown," Roberto said. "Think about people seeing things on a daily basis, over and over again, and that's part of the breakdown."

Shannon Sagan, known as the Dash Cam Lawyer, donated a Lexus LS460 in pristine condition to be raffled off.

"That keyword 'stigma' really is the problem. People want to bury the word suicide," Sagan said.
