Online Workshop: Peer Mentor Training

TAPS Peer Mentors are survivors ready to be a companion in another's grief journey. Peer mentors often find that helping others is an effective way to continue their own healing. A TAPS Peer Mentor has the ability, time, and compassion to open his or her heart to a bereaved person.

You may be ready to become a peer mentor if you are:

• an adult survivor at least 18 months beyond the loss of your own loved one.
• ready to be a good listener for others who are grieving.
• able to manage your own grief while comforting others whose grief may be fresh.
• wanting to create more meaning from your own loss and experience the mutual benefits of peer mentoring.

The TAPS Peer Mentor Program staff must review and accept your completed peer mentor application before you can sign up for this training.

TAPS Peer Mentors are the foundation of our mission. If you're 18 months beyond your loss and are ready to be a companion in another's grief journey, consider becoming a peer mentor.

The online training is conducted through Zoom, a video conferencing tool where you will participate in a live discussion with TAPS staff and other survivors taking the training. This forum allows you to learn in the comfort of your own home and choose from multiple dates that suit your schedule. You need to have reliable Internet connection, a webcam and microphone in your computer, and be comfortable using technology.
