Our story
IMBODEN grew from a shared dream between a mother and her son, Robert A. Coccio, Jr., CWO3, PAANG, Fort Indiantown Gap. Robert died on October 10, 2025, at age 34, from complications while awaiting a liver transplant at Einstein Hospital in Philadelphia, PA.
Robert had also lost a father figure, SST Paul Baker, to suicide. Baker was his Staff Sergeant at the Hometown Guard facility and shared a deep bond with the family. Robert carried that grief throughout his life. Baker rests at FTIG Cemetery.
While awaiting Robert’s transplant, mother and son often discussed how to help people facing trauma and suicidal thoughts. Their dream was simple: connect people with resources, listen, and make sure no one felt ignored.
In 2024, Robert gave his mother a coin engraved with “IMBODEN” to celebrate 12 years of sobriety. She wears it as a reminder of his love and their commitment to finish what they started. Robert’s legacy continues through that shared purpose.
What we offer
Our resources and meetings welcome anyone struggling with trauma, whatever their experience. Every person who reaches out matters deeply.
We do not have all the answers. What we offer is a person who will listen and help connect you with services.
Our founder is trained and certified to speak to groups about suicide prevention.
Our program offers a safe, fully confidential space, with that commitment made clear to participants.
Please note: IMBODEN does not have medical or clinical staff. We are here to listen and to help you find the services that do.
Meetings
We plan to hold weekly meetings and gatherings upstairs in Robert’s old garage, where we can feel connected in spirit. The garage itself will remain unchanged for now.
