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."
