For the Survivor:
If you are grieving the death of a loved one in the military, whether it is a family member, friend or fellow service member, you are warmly invited and encouraged to attend. You’ll attend workshops that are designed to help you heal and cope with life after loss. We have gentle, supportive discussions that offer you a chance to share with others facing similar losses, and help you discover that you are not alone on your grief journey.
For the Children:
The Good Grief Camp for Young Survivors is America’s only program for children who have lost a parent, sibling or loved one in military service to America. Our youth have a chance to share, to heal and have fun in a loving environment. Managed by some of America’s finest adolescent grief and trauma experts, our TAPS Youth also learn about our Nation’s Capitol while forging lasting friendships.
For the Caregiver:
TAPS offers the most current information and effective instruction for professionals who work with military survivors. Essential for chaplains, casualty and mortuary staffs, family support, commanders and their spouses, medical and mental health personnel, funeral directors and therapists.
