Good Grief Camp Information Form


TAPS Survivor Seminar Program for Adults

This special program brings together all those in the region who are grieving the death of a loved one who has died while serving in the armed forces.
The focus of the sessions both for adults and for children will be as follows:

• Meeting others from the region and discovering that we are not alone in our grief and finding in sharing our sadness we could lessen our pain.
• Learning about grief and traumatic loss from the very best experts and developing an understanding of how we can best cope and find comfort.
• Sharing with others in peer based support groups for all who are grieving, including widows, parents, siblings, significant others and all who are touched forever by their loss.
• Establishing a plan to move forward with support and care, including local area gatherings and participation in national programs.

Overview for the Children:

TAPS Good Grief Camp Team Leaders will conduct a day of activities for children of all ages, providing a safe place to learn about grief, share feelings, express emotions and heal young hearts.

• Children will meet others their own age who are also grieving and have the chance, in facilitated groups, to learn that they are not alone in their feelings.
• Through special activities we call “grief work,” the children will have fun while discovering how to cope with the pain they are experiencing.
• The children will end the day by creating a network of care to lean on as they move forward.
