Current Peer Mentors

Peer Mentors are precious gifts to the TAPS family. The comfort you bring those grieving a military loss are truly immeasurable. TAPS recognizes the hours you invest to serve those who need a companion for their grief. To support your mentoring efforts, TAPS provides ongoing opportunities to connect with other mentors to share valuable insights, tips, and tools. Additionally, we offer ongoing education through the TAPS Institute for Hope and Healing^® to help you advance your mentoring skills.

If you have a suggestion for ongoing education or feedback on the program, please email peermentors@taps.org or call 800-959-TAPS (8277).
