WHO WE HELP

The mission of the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors is to provide comfort and support to ALL who are grieving the loss of a loved one in military service.  We reach out to anyone, regardless of relationship, circumstance or geographic location of the casualty.  At TAPS we believe, where there is love and loss, there is grief; and we stand ready to reach out to each of you as you travel this journey; whether family member, loved one, co-worker or friend.

Since 1994, TAPS has provided comfort and care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Its comprehensive services include a national network of peer-based emotional support, case work assistance, crisis intervention, and grief and trauma resources. To date, TAPS has assisted more than 25,000 surviving family members, casualty officers, and caregivers. All services provided by TAPS are free of charge to surviving families and are made possible by the generosity of our donors.
