Testimonies
"This is a special note to thank you and SC4i again personally for all the support of the last 3 years! You have been a very important part of my journey. You and the staff have gone above and beyond and for that I am grateful."
— Client
"I was in a really bad place, and I couldn't find anyone who was taking new patients. A friend recommended SC4i. My wife contacted them and within the day they contacted me. I was able to set up an appointment quickly and they even gave me tools to use to feel better in the meantime."
— Client
"I've found it difficult at times to talk to counselors just because the life experiences I have are so much different than what the average person goes through. With Dan, I am working to find and understand why I took so much of my job personally. This is the first time in my life I am actually addressing the base cause for WHY I am the way I am."
— Law Enforcement Officer
"I came to Status Code 4 for depression and suicidal thoughts. SC4i staff understands what we see, how we feel, and how we speak as first responders. They saved my life and has affected how I approach issues, my relationships, and the things I see on the job."
— First Responder
"Neuro feedback has changed my life as someone who struggles with ADD. I am now passing a math class I never would have dreamed I could pass. This therapy has been my gold mine of healing, less anxiety, more focus, and better memory."
— Client, Neurofeedback
"Status Code 4 saved my life! It has not only helped me, but has also made my relationship with my children better. I will continue to recommend your services for anyone in need."

About Status Code 4 Inc.
Our name comes from Dispatches frequent question after they have not heard from a unit for awhile. "Med unit, what's your status?" If everything was all right, we would answer, "Code 4." Our goal at SC4I is to help all First Responders we service get to the point where their status is Code 4.
Did you know 1 in 3 First Responders experience Posttraumatic Stress (PTS), and if left untreated may lead to PTSI (Injury)?
​
​SC4I has developed training materials to enhance treatment for First Responders with PTSI. Now, we're expanding on that program to include and help their family members.
