On March 09, 2010, the Fresno Chamber of Commerce had the great honor of conducting a ribbon cutting for the Trauma Intervention Program (TIP) of Fresno, located at 911 H St. in Fresno CA. TIP is a non-profit organization made up of local volunteers that provides assistance to citizens in our community that are emotionally traumatized in emergency situations. TIP volunteers are called by police officers, firefighters, paramedics and hospital personnel and provide a variety of needed services such as support to family members and friends following a natural and unexpected death, victims of crime including rape, assault robbery and burglary, fire, and vehicle accidents, and family members of a person who has committed suicide (TIPP, 2010). TIP volunteers truly have a great inner desire to help others. I was greatly impressed by the volunteers and staff I had the opportunity to meet at this ribbon cutting. They are truly special people, and deserve our highest respect for the outstanding services they provide to the citizens of Fresno during emergency situations. For more information on TIP you can visit the website at http://www.tipfresno.org/.
