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

In preparation for the upcoming season, Cape Assist and the Cape May County Healthy Community Coalition (CMC HCC) will host four free TIPS training for county businesses who sell or serve alcohol. These virtual sessions will be held on Zoom in May.

TIPS is a skills-based training program designed for customer facing businesses and focuses on responsible consumption and intoxication prevention, underage drinking, and drunk driving.

Participants will be trained how to recognize the signs of intoxication and receive strategies to best handle complicated situations, identify underage drinkers and prevent underage sales, and confidently use proven techniques to prevent alcohol-related problems.
