Trauma Intervention Program
When tragedy happens, TIP is there.
The Trauma Intervention Program (TIP) of Treasure Valley 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 a group of specially trained and screened volunteers available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Proudly serving Treasure Valley since 2015, TIP Volunteers are called by Law Enforcement, Fire and EMS 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 the Treasure Valley 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.
"The TIP Volunteers were so supportive and helpful. I don't know how I would have gotten through the day without them there."
