OVERVIEW

From September 21 to 24, 2023, TAPS Young Adults will take part in a one-of-a-kind experience in exciting Chicago, Illinois at the Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop as we focus on Self-Care through Creative Expression. We will participate in a number of creative expression activities such as storytelling, songwriting, drawing, painting, movement, and design.

About TAPS Young Adults Programmimg

In all TAPS Young Adults Programmimg, we focus on Care + Connection + Well-being.

Care: We foster judgment-free spaces with peers who understand, where you can bring all that you carry and lean on others who won't feel burdened.

Connection: When peers show up and support each other, it becomes a trusted and encouraging community, where we hope you feel free and safe to have fun.

Well-being: With personal development tools for life and self-care and some time just for you, we help you focus in on your mental and emotional well-being - to uncover your own confidence, empowerment and growth.

Through a Peer Community of support, accessible resources and enriching experiences, we equip young adults to live content and fulfilling lives.
