    • Mission

    TIP is a group of specially trained volunteers who provide emotional aid and practical support to victims of traumatic events and their families in the first few hours following a tragedy. TIP Volunteers are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They are called by police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and hospital personnel to assist family members and friends following a natural or unexpected death; victims of violent crime including rape, assault, robbery, or burglary; victims of fire; disoriented or lonely elderly persons; people involved in motor vehicle accidents; people who are distraught and seeking immediate support; and survivors of suicide. The Merrimack Valley Chapter of TIP was founded in 1993. The Chapter receives support and guidance from a local Advisory Committee.

    About Us

    TIP of Merrimack Valley is a chapter of the Trauma Intervention Programs, Inc. (TIP), a national non-profit organization founded in 1985. TIP has 14 affiliates serving over 250 cities across the nation.

    Our volunteers are citizens helping citizens in crisis. All volunteers must attend our Training Academy and will receive all the training necessary to carry out their role as a TIP Volunteer.
