ABOUT SC4i
Built by first responders, for first responders and the people who love them.
Status Code 4, Inc. (SC4i) is a Colorado Springs-based 501(c)3 nonprofit providing no-cost, confidential mental health support to active and retired First Responders and their families across Colorado.
OUR STORY
Where our name comes from
When dispatch hasn't heard from a unit, they ask, "What's your status?" If everything is all right, the answer is "Code 4."
SC4i was founded in February 2017 by people who have answered that call themselves. Our goal is to help every First Responder we serve get to the point where their status is Code 4.
OUR MISSION
The mission of Status Code 4 Inc. (SC4i) is to help First Responders and their family members find healing, purpose and hope through trauma counseling, mental wellness education and resources, and career transition support.
OUR VISION
We envision a world where first responders thrive through resilience instead of silence, where strength is measured by growth, and where a connected community walks with them from their first day of service to their last, restoring hope, purpose, and peace.
OUR APPROACH
Clinical Oversight
Clinical staff are supervised by a licensed psychologist who is also a retired 25-year paramedic.
Evidence-based care
Approaches including EMDR, CBT and Neurofeedback for PTSI (Post-Traumatic Stress Injury) and related conditions.
No barriers
No cost. No referral form. No chain of command. Confidential for current and former First Responders and their families.
