Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors

Mission

The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) is the national nonprofit organization providing compassionate care, comprehensive grief support, and trauma-informed services to the families of America’s fallen military heroes. Since 1994, TAPS has stood beside everyone grieving the death of a military loved one, offering hope, healing, and a community of care through every stage of the grief journey. Through a nationally recognized model of peer-based emotional support and comprehensive survivor care, TAPS provides casework assistance, grief and trauma resources, community-based care, online and in-person support groups, restorative retreats for adults, Good Grief Camps for children, and the 24/7 National Military Survivor Helpline. Every service is provided at no cost to surviving families, ensuring that no military survivor has to navigate grief alone.

Vision

To ensure that every family who has lost a military loved one receives lifelong care, connection, and hope, transforming tragedy into healing, resilience, and enduring legacy.

2.Engage every survivor in programs and peer-based support tailored to their unique needs, empowering them to navigate grief in a healthy way and build lives of resilience, meaning, and connection.
3.Advance TAPS as the leading national resource for training, support, research, and advocacy for the military community impacted by grief and trauma, strengthening the capacity of leaders, caregivers, and communities to care for the families of the fallen.
