About this service
TAPS Care Groups are unstructured local support gatherings co-hosted by a volunteer TAPS Peer Mentor and/or volunteer mental-health professional. They provide emotional support and camaraderie rather than guided therapy, helping survivors talk with peers, learn coping and stress-relief strategies, and feel less alone.
