Travion Chamberlain
CEO/Executive Director
Travion Chamberlain is a beacon on a hill, a sterling example, of the possibilities of rehabilitation. Though Travion has felony convictions, he has been out of custody for over five years and he has been a model citizen since his release. Travion has dedicated his life’s work to helping individuals avoid making the same mistakes that he made and helping those in need. He has worked in a number of roles with a variety of community-based organizations providing behavioral health services that support clients impacted by addiction, incarceration, and homelessness. After serving nearly five years with a variety of CBOs, Mr. Chamberlain recognized that he could serve individuals in this arena in a bigger capacity, if he created his own organization. Thus, he formed Trauma Reentry Intervention Prevention Supportive Services, Inc. (TRIPSS, Inc.) as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation in August 0f 2023. Travion is excited to leverage relationships with organizations across California to help as many individuals as possible.
