PEER SUPPORT

The heart of TAPS is our Peer Support Network. It represents the simple recognition of the powerful connections made when you can communicate with those having shared experiences. Our peer support network is a circle of comfort, warmth and understanding.

I am an adult military survivor who is looking for the support of another military survivor.

		I am a military survivor who would like to support other military survivors. Our Volunteer Wizard will help direct you to the appropriate online Peer Mentor registration form as a first step to get you started. We will then contact you as events occur in your local area. For more information, email us at volunteer@taps.org.
Watch a video about peer mentor training created during our suicide survivor seminar, where survivors learned how to help others who had experienced a similar loss.

I am NOT a military survivor but would like to support military survivors.

I am currently serving in the military and would like to mentor younger survivors (ages 5-18).

If you are an active duty military service member or a recent military veteran, you can volunteer to mentor a child through the TAPS Good Grief Camp progam. Mentors are background checked and are trained in how to companion a child who is grieving. See More »

Mending the Family Circle
By Darcie D. Sims, PhD, CHT, CT, GMS

TAPS Magazine |

Once I lived the American Dream. We were a happy family, military by career and parents by choice. And with the birth of our son, our family was to have been complete…whole…two kids so no one would have to fight over a window in the back seat, two kids because I had a lot of recipes that served four. We called him Big A and he had a big sister named Allie. We were the American Dream, at least for a little while.

Memorial Day vs. Veterans Day

TAPS Blog | Before my husband died, Memorial Day was just another 3 day weekend that we got to celebrate his birthday (May 29^th) with a fun adventure. I never really thought about the importance of it and just enjoyed our time together. Since his death however, Memorial Day has taken on a whole new meaning.
