Trauma Intervention Programs of Arizona, Inc Charity Profile
Trauma Intervention Programs of Arizona Inc. (TIP) is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization affiliated with Trauma Intervention Programs, Inc. , a national nonprofit organization. TIP's primary purpose is to ensure that those who are emotionally traumatized receive the support they need immediately following a crisis event and is designed to prevent the secondary victimization that all too often occurs with the loss of life incidents.
The Trauma Intervention Programs of Arizona, Inc. began as the Yavapai Chapter of Trauma Intervention Programs Inc. in 2000. Today, TIP has 50 highly trained and certified individuals that respond to calls by emergency personnel on a 24-hour, 365 day a year basis.
Often, police and firefighters must leave traumatized citizens to fend for themselves. As a result, "abandoned victims" suffer lifelong emotional injuries. Emergency responders are continually frustrated at their inability to help those who are physically uninjured but emotionally traumatized.
