About this service
Good Grief Camps are offered during TAPS regional and national seminars. Children and teenagers join age-appropriate peer groups to talk about grief, practice coping, and connect with other surviving youth; each participant is paired with a trained active-duty or veteran Military Mentor for support and encouragement during the weekend.
