Description
The Trauma Intervention Program (TIP) of Northwest Florida is a group of specially trained volunteers who are called by first responders to provide immediate, on-scene emotional and organizational support to any victim of a traumatic event. Our calls are initiated by Fire, Police, Sheriff, FHP and Hospital ERs throughout Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, and we respond within minutes to give support to victims of natural and accidental death, suicide, homicide, hurricanes, drowning, child death, natural death, house fires, sexual assault, domestic violence and other crisis situations.
