As the sun rises over the majestic peaks of Colorado, there’s a silent army already in motion, tirelessly working to ensure our safety and well-being. These are the first responders, the unsung heroes who selflessly put themselves in harm’s way to protect our communities. However, behind the courageous facade lies a hidden struggle—a battle with mental health challenges that often go unnoticed.

In a bid to support these brave individuals, BIG Insurance Group is thrilled to be a sponsor of the golf tournament for Status Code 4 Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to providing behavioral health services to Colorado’s first responders and their families. This event, scheduled for May 10th at the picturesque Cheyenne Shadows Golf Club on Fort Carson marks a significant step towards raising awareness and funds for this crucial cause.

The State of First Responder Mental Health:

Colorado boasts over 50,000 first responders, each bearing the weight of immense responsibility on their shoulders. Yet, amidst the chaos and emergencies they face daily, a silent epidemic persists. Statistics paint a grim picture—25% of Colorado’s first responders experience PTSD, while an equal percentage grapple with depression. Furthermore, a staggering 35% battle Substance Abuse Disorder, and up to 75% endure the heartbreak of divorce, a consequence of the strains placed on their personal lives by their demanding professions.

Status Code 4 Inc.: Healing Heroes, Restoring Hope:

In February 2017, Status Code 4 Inc. emerged as a beacon of hope for Colorado’s first responders. Since its inception, this non-profit organization has been unwavering in its commitment to provide trauma healing therapy, mental wellness training, and essential resources to those who serve on the frontlines of emergencies. To date, Status Code 4 Inc. has directly impacted the lives of 2,019 first responders and their families, offering a lifeline of support in their darkest hours.
