About Us

Each affiliate uses specially trained citizen volunteers to respond to traumatic incidents to support victims and their families in the first few hours following a tragedy.

TIP has received the prestigious Innovations Award in State and Local government from Harvard University and Ford Foundation, the Crime Victim Service Award from the US Justice Department and the Governor’s Victim Service Award from the State of California.

The Riverside County Chapter of TIP was founded in 1993. There are currently volunteers serving 8 jurisdictions, 7 hospitals, and 13 public safety agencies. The Chapter receives support and guidance from TIP National.

Volunteers provide emotional and practical support on trauma scenes at the request of first responders on a 24/7/365 basis.
