TIP National | Trauma Intervention Programs, Inc. is a national nonprofit organization in the public-safety field. Founded in 1985 and based in Tustin, California, it coordinates a network of affiliates to cover more than 300 cities through 15 regional programs. Its trained volunteers respond to traumatic incidents at the request of police, fire, and hospital personnel, providing emotional support to individuals and families in the immediate aftermath. The model relies on collaboration with public safety agencies to address the emotional impact of crisis on communities. It has earned multiple awards recognizing its contributions, including the Innovations Award in State and Local Government from Harvard University and the Ford Foundation, the Crime Victim Service Award from the U.S. Justice Department, and the Governor's Victim Service Award from California. In January 2026, TIP introduced Second Responders, its first nationwide awareness campaign, following a public recognition as the People's Choice winner in SixDegrees.org's Purpose, Produced program.
