Trauma Intervention Program
of Long Beach

When tragedy happens, TIP is there.

The Trauma Intervention Program (TIP) of Long Beach 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 Long Beach since 2021, TIP 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 local 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 Long Beach because TIP is involved. TIP contributes more than 20,000 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 volunteer from TIP was so valuable to me and my daughter when my husband passed suddenly. Thank you for providing this to our community."
