Remember the Love, Celebrate the Life, Share the Journey



For Adults
Join us as we bring together survivors and leading professionals in the grief and trauma field, to share a weekend of understanding, hope, courage, and love.
Since 1995, TAPS has welcomed all who are grieving the loss of a loved one who died while serving, providing a full weekend of events for adults and children alike. In Washington, DC, we are surrounded by the monuments of our nation that honor the service and sacrifice of our loved ones and remind everyone that “Freedom is Not Free.”

For Children
TAPS Good Grief Camp for children and teens provides a safe and supportive atmosphere to conduct activities and opportunities to learn coping skills, establish and identify support systems and create awareness that they are not alone in the grief of their loved one.   Children and teens meet others of their own age group to share and learn, together.

Become a Peer Mentor
TAPS will also be conducting a day of Peer Mentor Training for those who are at least 18 months beyond their own loss and are ready to be there for others and offer support. We have a day of training on Thursday prior to the Seminar. You will learn more about grief and trauma, gain basic helping skills and become part of our TAPS Peer Mentor Team! All those attending the training must take an online training course prior to attending classroom training. You can register for the Peer Mentor training as part of the general registration. For more information concerning Peer Mentor training, contact kellie@taps.org.
