Review for Trauma Intervention Program of Northern Nevada, Inc., Reno, NV, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

If you don't know what to do if your loved one dies today, you're the kind of person we help out.
Emergency responders can respond to emergencies, but not to the aftermath. For emotional wreckage, responders call the Trauma Intervention Program.
TIP gives people emotional and practical support in the hours immediately after a tragedy, like a suicide, a fire, or a car crash. Without us, people who experience these things are often on their own for hours until friends or family can be there for them.
That's a problem. Growing up in Nevada, I've noticed that few people have a support system. Anywhere else in America, you can rely on your community for things. Out here, good luck meeting your neighbors before they move!
People need to watch each others' backs more. By providing aid to people who have been through trauma, I think TIP provides the connectedness that we need, when we need it most.
It' a great non-profit.
