The TIPS Program, or Training for Intervention Procedures, is a training initiative designed to help individuals recognize and prevent risky behaviors, particularly in social settings like bars and restaurants. It focuses on responsible alcohol service and aims to reduce incidents of overconsumption and related issues, such as drunk driving. Participants in the TIPS Program learn techniques for effective communication, intervention strategies, and how to handle difficult situations. The program is widely used in the hospitality industry and is often required for staff working in establishments that serve alcohol, promoting a safer environment for both patrons and employees.
