Free TIPS Training Offered to Local Businesses

DanversCARES, as part of a regional effort with the Healthy Peabody Collaborative and the Tri-Town Council, offers TIPS Training for businesses selling and/or serving alcohol. TIPS (Training for Intervention ProcedureS) is a dynamic skills-based training program designed to prevent intoxication, drunk driving, and underage drinking by enhancing the fundamental "people skills" of servers, sellers and consumers of alcohol. TIPS gives individuals the knowledge and confidence they need to recognize potential alcohol-related problems and intervene to prevent alcohol-related tragedies. This training is conducted by Mike Marcantonio, a Certified TIPS Trainer with Dram Shop Consultants, and is open to establishments with liquor licenses in the communities of Danvers, Peabody, Middleton, Boxford, and Topsfield. The focus of customer intervention is for pouring establishments. This free training is on Tuesday, December 3, 2019 from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. in the Gordon Room at the Peabody Institute Library in Danvers. Space is limited. Online registration is required at www.danverscares.org. No phone or email registration is accepted. For more information contact Lyla Harrod at lylaharrod@danvers.org.
