TAPS Survivor Seminar Program for Adults

This special program brings together all those in the region who are grieving the death of a loved one who has died while serving in the armed forces.
The focus of the sessions both for adults and for children will be as follows:

Meeting others from the region and discovering that we are not alone in our grief and finding in sharing our sadness we could lessen our pain.
Learning about grief and traumatic loss from the very best experts and developing an understanding of how we can best cope and find comfort.
Sharing with others in peer based support groups for all who are grieving, including widows, parents, siblings, significant others and all who are touched forever by their loss.
Establishing a plan to move forward with support and care, including local area gatherings and participation in national programs.

Overview for the Children

TAPS Good Grief Camp Team Leaders will conduct a day of activities for children of all ages, providing a safe place to learn about grief, share feelings, express emotions and heal young hearts.

Children will meet others their own age who are also grieving and have the chance, in facilitated groups, to learn that they are not alone in their feelings.
Through special activities we call “grief work,” the children will have fun while discovering how to cope with the pain they are experiencing.
The children will end the day by creating a network of care to lean on as they move forward.

Attendees:

Lodging for those staying overnight can be arranged, just let us know if you will be with us.
RSVPs will be taken by TAPS staff and coordinated with appropriate protocol and security staffs from Fort Bragg.
Continental breakfast and lunch will be arranged for the families.
