CRISIS INTERVENTION PROGRAM SEEKS RAMONA VOLUNTEERS

Trauma Intervention Programs (TIP) of San Diego County, Inc., is a non-profit organization that partners with the Ramona Fire and other surrounding Fire Departments, as well as the Sheriff’s Department to assist citizens in crisis following a tragic event.  We are currently seeking committed citizens as crisis intervention program volunteers in the Ramona region.  Volunteers will be trained to help fellow citizens who are in distress as a result of a traumatic event, such as an unexpected family death, victims of fire, crime, flood, suicide, homicide, or other traumatic incidents.  

TIP is holding a volunteer training academy beginning September 12-September 22nd.  The academy costs $45 per person and is a 50-hour training on weeknights and weekends.  No prior experience is necessary.  Interested citizens must be at least 16 years of age and have automobile transportation, insurance, and a cell phone.  We are looking for adults and teens that are available for either day or night shifts.  For a complete schedule of training times and further information regarding volunteer requirements call the TIP office at 855-TIPSD-HELP, or see our website: www.tipsandiego.org.
