Code Forty4 Foundation
Supporting and educating first responder families before a crisis hits.
Code Forty4 Foundation is a nonprofit organization created to help first responders and their families recognize struggles earlier, respond with confidence and connect to trusted support before they reach a crisis.
Seven lives. Seven years.
One community.
In seven years, our local law enforcement community experienced seven deaths by suicide.
Seven first responders. Seven families.
And countless coworkers, friends and community members are forever impacted by their loss.
OUR MISSION
Code Forty4 Foundation exists to educate, equip and support first responder families and the communities surrounding them.
We help families:
Recognize. Respond. Support.
OUR VISION
What if support started
before the crisis?
We envision a first responder community where conversations about mental health are normal, families are equipped to recognize when someone is struggling and asking for help is viewed as a sign of strength.
A community where every first responder and every family knows:
Who can I call?
Where can I go?
What can I do?
And no family feels like they have to figure it out alone.
WHAT THE FOUNDATION SUPPORTS
