Iverson Foundation for Active Awareness' has made its mission to change the culture within the first responder community.

Currently, the culture has little room for the consistent decompression or the open communication necessary to maintain sound mental health after seeing and experiencing things the human brain can only compartmentalize, cover up, or “add to the bucket” for so long.
