TAPS Merits Military Honors in Aftercare
The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors supports those who lost a loved one in the line of military duty.
Peer support and grief counseling organizations are extremely beneficial to those who share the same kind of grief. One such group is the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), designed for those who lost a loved one in the line of military duty. TAPS Merits Military Honors in Aftercare, written by Bonnie Carroll, provides a brief history of TAPS and explains how it provides continuing care for those who have been affected by a death in the armed forces.
Learn how TAPS, through its peer support network and annual seminar, can help the military families you serve. TAPS toll-free crisis and information line at 800-368-TAPS is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide comfort, assistance and advocacy for survivors.
