Skills-based training designed to prevent intoxication, underage drinking, and drunk driving

Cape Assist and the Cape May County Healthy Community Coalition (CMCHCC) will be providing free TIPS training to local businesses who sell or serve alcohol. These sessions will be offered virtually on Zoom.

TIPS is a skills-based training program that focuses on responsible consumption and designed to prevent intoxication, underage drinking, and drunk driving. Participants will be instructed how to recognize signs of intoxication and assess how to effectively handle any situations, identify underage drinkers and prevent sales to those under the legal age, and confidently use proven tactics to prevent alcohol-related problems.
