For over 20 years, our Trauma Intervention Program (TIP) volunteers have been working in partnership with the Corona Police Department and other organizations to provide support to emotionally traumatized community members after tragedy strikes.  TIP volunteers are specially trained citizens who are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year, to assist those in need.  After traumatic events, victims and survivors often feel hopeless, confused, and are in emotional shock.  They are often confronted with circumstances and situations for which they are unprepared, and often feel devastated, alone, and overwhelmed. Police officers on the scene of these events must focus on their job duties, and often are unable to provide the immediate support victims and survivors need.  Our TIP volunteers regularly respond to these scenes and provide that much needed emotional and practical support to those affected by the tragic event.  As their motto “Always Ready, Always There” states, TIP volunteers are standing by to help those in need.
