Trauma Intervention Program
Supporting Our Community Through Tragedy.
The Yuba-Sutter Chapter of TIP Inc. was founded in 1994. There are currently 35 responders serving two counties, 1250 square miles and 170,000 residents. We serve all of the emergency agencies and Adventist Hospital in the area . . . all 35 agencies!
TIP provides immediate emotional and practical support to survivors of tragedy. Local residents are trained to be TIP Responders and are available on a 24/7/365 day basis to assist law enforcement, firefighters, paramedics, deputy coroners and hospital personnel.
TIP people respond to support survivors of all types of tragedy some of which include sudden deaths, suicides, homicides, all types of accidents, drownings, victims of crimes, structure fires, and overdoses. TIP also supports travelers when tragedy occurs in the Yuba-Sutter area and they are far from home.
TIP Yuba-Sutter is a Chapter of Trauma Intervention Programs Inc (tipnational.org) which was founded in San Diego County in 1985. There are currently 13 regional chapters in the nation serving over 250 cities.
Our Mission
Our citizen responders provide emotional first aid to survivors of tragedy in order to ease their immediate suffering and facilitate their healing and long term recovery.
Become a TIP Responder
TIP volunteers are a highly trained, certified group of individuals that are called by emergency personnel to provide support to emotionally traumatized citizens on a 24-hour, 365 day a year basis.
Support for Communities
Survivors of tragedy get a higher level of care in Yuba-Sutter Counties because TIP is involved. There is a TIP volunteer ready to respond 365 days a year, around the clock. TIP on the scene lowers the stress level of emergency workers and helps them return to service sooner.
“The TIP volunteer was very professional and compassionate to the victim's family. It was great having her assistance. Thank you.”
— Yuba City Police Officer
