SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY AFTER A CRISIS… BIG OR SMALL.

What is TIP?
TIP is a group of specially trained volunteers who provide emotional aid and practical support and resources to victims of traumatic events and their families in the first few hours following a tragedy.

TIP Volunteers are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.   Volunteers are requested through the emergency response system at the request of police, fire, paramedics, hospitals, medical examiners, schools and businesses.

TIP Volunteers support family members and friends following a suicide, natural or unexpected death; victims of crime; victims of fires; drownings; people involved in motor vehicle accidents; witnesses to crimes and people who are affected by gang and gun violence.

TIPNW currently has over 200 volunteers responding to an average of 170 calls per month.

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.
