Two of our team members, Jennifer Tabanico (President) and Melanie Coppock (Office Manager) are active in Trauma Intervention Programs of San Diego County (TIP) a local volunteer group that provides immediate emotional and practical support to community members in the first few hours following a crisis. Since 2008, Action Research has also been a sponsor for the organization’s annual “Heroes on Scene” event – an event that recognizes first responders and citizens who were especially compassionate to victims of trauma.
