TIPS (Training for Intervention Procedures)
Training for local businesses who serve alcohol.
As part of our commitment to preventing drug and alcohol misuse, the Town of Babylon Cares offers free training to servers, sellers, and consumers of alcohol.
The Training for Intervention Procedures (TIPS) Responsible Alcohol Program is a skills-based, training program designed to prevent intoxication, drunk driving, and underage drinking. TIPS provides the knowledge and confidence required to recognize potential alcohol-related problems and intervene to prevent alcohol-related tragedies.
Have a Licensed Establishment?
Do you really know what your employees are doing? Are they complying with the law or putting your establishment at risk?
TIPS training provides the education your employees need to ensure your establishment stays consistently in compliance with the law. Have you already received a summons? Our advocacy team strives to insure that TIPS training is mandatory for fails, and advocates for fee reductions for socially responsible corporations whose values align with unity in community.
Anyone who serves alcohol in a licensed establishment should take this training and receive their certification. The program includes:
- Legal information
- Alcohol information
- Intervention information
- Practical application exercises
- Certification exam
Responsible beverage service training is not mandated by the State of New York. However, we offer free training.
- Host a TIPS training at your establishment
- Become a TIPS trainer and help other businesses strengthen awareness and community ties

Through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), school nurses have access to free resources and training to support students and individuals struggling with substance use disorders or those at risk.
SAMHSA’s Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) program offers a comprehensive, integrated public health approach that includes:
- Rapid screening to evaluate the severity of substance use and determine the appropriate level of care.
- Brief intervention to raise awareness and promote motivation for behavioral change related to substance use.
- Referral to treatment for individuals needing more intensive care, with access to specialized services.
Locally, our partners at Northwell Health are committed to offering free training for school staff, along with continuing education credits. Northwell also provides all levels of care for those in need.
