Blood Pressure Checks

Trauma Intervention Programs (TIP) is a group of specially trained citizen volunteers who provide emotional and practical support to victims of traumatic events and their families in the first few hours following a tragedy.
Why TIP?
Following a traumatic event, the persons involved often feel helpless, confused, and in emotional shock. They are confronted with a situation for which they are totally unprepared. Often there is no one available in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy to guide the victims through these difficult hours. The TIP volunteer provides this necessary temporary support until the persons involved in the crisis are able to depend on family, friends, neighbors, and others.
Who are TIP volunteers?
TIP volunteers are citizens of all ages and occupations who have a deep desire to help others. Many of the volunteers have been through a traumatic experience themselves and realize the importance of immediate support from a caring and knowledgeable person.
Who pays for TIP services?
Trauma Intervention Programs, Inc. is a non profit, tax exempt organization. Services are provided to victims and their families free of charge and are made possible through grants from local government and individuals and through fundraising efforts.
