Trauma Intervention Program of Orange County *
When tragedy happens, TIP is there.
The Trauma Intervention Program (TIP) of Orange County is a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that those who are emotionally traumatized in emergency situations receive the immediate assistance they need. TIP is comprised of over 100 specially trained and screened volunteers available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Proudly serving Orange County since 1995, TIP crisis volunteers are called by law enforcement, fire and hospital personnel to assist victims, families, friends, witnesses and bystanders by providing emotional support and practical resources.
Our Mission
Our volunteers provide emotional first aid to survivors of tragedy in order to ease their immediate suffering and facilitate their healing and long term recovery.
Support for Communities
Survivors of tragedy get a higher level of care in Orange County because TIP is involved. TIP contributes more than 60,000 hours of volunteer time per year to the community. Having TIP on a scene lowers the stress level of emergency workers and helps them focus on the details of their job.
“Having your volunteer ‘angel’ show up at 3am, sit by my side, and show me the way forward during my darkest hours was the most wonderful thing - I will never forget her."
