TIP in East County - Trauma Response
What T.I.P. is all about: The first few hours after a crisis situation has occurred are very confusing for everyone involved and the TIP volunteers provide the necessary emotional first aid and other temporary support until the persons involved in the crisis are able to depend on family, friends, and others. This allows the emergency providers to return to service more quickly and feel confident that the victim will receive the assistance needed.
For more information please contact: Mandy Atkisson, T.I.P Director by email at tipsandiego@sbcglobal.net. For T.I.P. East County training information please call (619) 697-4936, or or visit T.I.P. San Diego
For the next 50-hour training academy schedule for both adults and teens, please call TIP.

No prior experience is necessary to attend training or to become a volunteer, however, you must be at least 16 years of age, and have automobile transportation and insurance.

Trauma Intervention Programs (TIP) of San Diego County, Inc., is a non-profit organization that partners with police and fire emergency personnel and assists on the scene after a tragedy has occurred. We are seeking committed volunteers for its crisis intervention program. Volunteers will be trained to help fellow citizens who are in distress as a result of a traumatic event. Volunteers are called to the scene by a police officer or firefighter to assist citizens who are family members and friends following a natural or unexpected death or victims of fire, crime, flood, suicide, or other crisis situations. We have teams that respond in La Mesa, El Cajon, Lakeside, and Santee.
