Liz and Steve Alderman founded the Peter C. Alderman Foundation in memory of their son who was killed on 9/11. The mission statement of the Peter C. Alderman Foundation is to heal the emotional wounds of survivors of torture, terrorism, and mass violence by training indigenous healthcare workers and establishing trauma treatment systems in post-conflict countries around the globe. With treatment survivors can be restored to productive lives.
