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.
