Standing with You

At TAPS, we are here to support you along every step of your grief journey.

As part of the TAPS Family, we offer you the absolute best in survivor support, advocacy and casework assistance. Whether it's one of the members of our Helpline team talking with you on a sleepless night, a member of our Casework Team helping you sort through the stressful decisions to be made and paperwork following the death of a loved one, or whether it's walking down the corridors of Congress, advocating for policy and budget changes on behalf of survivors, our team is always standing with you and for you.

Learn more below about the ways we can help you connect with advocates, subject matter experts, peer professionals, community counseling, trusted partners and much more.
