Volunteers are being sought to serve on the Columbia River Gorge Response Team of the Trauma Intervention Program. Program volunteers are called by law enforcement and other emergency personnel to various locations to provide immediate emotional and practical support to families, friends, witnesses, and victims of traumatic incidents. Trauma Intervention Programs Community Relations Director Dennis Toomey says trainings are planned in November, and explains volunteers help victims not feel like they are alone, providing comfort, protection, and a feeling of safety. To learn more about the trainings and the program, go to tipnw.org or call 503-823-3937.
