| IRS990/Desc | 0 | TAPS SURVIVOR PROGRAMS: REGIONALS, RETREATS, CAMP OUTS, EXPEDITIONS, AND INNER WARRIOR.KEY ELEMENTS OF TAPS PEER BASED EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ARE THE MILITARY SURVIVOR SEMINARS, RETREATS, FAMILY CAMPS AND EXPEDITIONS HELD AT LOCATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SURVIVING FAMILY MEMBERS LEARN THEY ARE NOT ALONE IN THEIR GRIEF WHILE THEY GAIN COPING SKILLS THAT ENABLE THEM TO LIVE A FULL LIFE IN THEIR "NEW NORMAL." THESE EVENTS GIVES THE FAMILIES OF AMERICA'S FALLEN HEROES A FULLY FUNDED EXPERIENCE, INCLUDING LODGING, MEALS, MATERIALS, PROGRAMMING, SPECIAL ACTIVITIES AND GROUND TRANSPORTATION. THE MOST HEALING ASPECTS OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE THE PHYSICAL ELEMENTS, TAKING THOSE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING TRAUMATIC GRIEF OUTDOORS IN NATURE, PARTICIPATING IN ACTIVITIES IN A SAFE, SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT THAT SHOW THEM THEY CAN OVERCOME CHALLENGES, AND THAT THEY HAVE AN EVER-PRESENT SUPPORT SYSTEM. THESE PROGRAMS UTILIZE THE CONCEPT OF EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION TO HAVE THE MOST EFFECTIVE IMPACT. AFTER ATTENDING A RETREAT ONE WIDOW SHARED; "GOING TO THE TAPS WIDOW'S RETREAT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING, HEALING EXPERIENCE FOR ME. I LOVED BEING SURROUNDED BY INSTANT FRIENDS WHO JUST GOT IT. THE ACTIVITIES WE DID WERE STRENGTHENING AND CLEANSING AND THE SETTING WAS BREATHTAKING. THE STAFF WAS SO KIND AND ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO LISTEN. I DO NOT HAVE WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW LOVED AND CARED FOR I FELT. I TRULY BELIEVE THE RETREAT HELPED ME TO PUT EVERYTHING IN PERSPECTIVE AND MOVE ON WITH MY LIFE. IT WAS AN ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME EXPERIENCE FOR ME THAT I WILL CHERISH FOREVER. TAPS IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE BLESSING AND I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO. YOU ARE MAKING A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE HEARTS OF THE HURTING!"SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT:TAPS CONNECT SURVIVING MILITARY FAMILIES WITH PROFESSIONAL SPORTS PROGRAMS AND THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY TO BRING HOPE AND HEALING WHILE HONORING THEIR FALLEN HEROES. THESE EXPERIENCES CREATE MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES FOR FAMILIES TO MAKE NEW MEMORIES WITH THOSE WHO ONCE BROUGHT THEM, AND THEIR FALLEN HERO JOY AND HAPPINESS. PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE NFL, MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL, USA BASKETBALL, NASCAR, NHL, AND MORE ALLOW SURVIVORS MOMENTS OF JOY AND HELP THEM GAIN THE COMFORT IN KNOWING THEIR HEROES WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. |

SOME DAYS ARE GOOD AND SOME ARE BAD. ON THE REALLY BAD DAYS, I CALL TAPS. I HAVE ONLY CALLED THEM A FEW TIMES BUT I KNOW THEY ARE THERE FOR ME 24/7 TO LISTEN, TALK, AND SUPPORT ME. AND "THE PROGRAM LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE. I WAS SO LOST AND BROKEN AFTER MY SON'S DEATH. I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN. NO ONE UNDERSTOOD MY GRIEF. THEN I FOUND TAPS AND THEY JUST KNEW! THEY WERE MY LIFE PRESERVER. THANK YOU TAPS. I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU."FOLLOWING A SERVICE MEMBER'S DEATH, IMMEDIATE OUTREACH AND PERSONALIZED CONNECTIONS TO CARE ARE MADE BY THE TAPS PEER PROFESSIONAL SURVIVOR CARE TEAM (SCT).

IN 2018, CARE TEAM MEMBERS MADE OVER 28,500 DIRECT OUTREACH CALLS (AN INCREASE OF 10% FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR) AND SPENT OVER 207,000 HOURS SUPPORTING SURVIVORS. WHEN THERE IS A CRITICAL NEED THAT EXCEEDS WHAT THE GOVERNMENT OR PRIVATE SECTOR CAN PROVIDE A FAMILY, TAPS IS THERE WITH EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THROUGH THE TAPS CASEWORK TEAM, SURVIVORS CAN ACCESS EDUCATION SUPPORT SERVICES; RECEIVE HELP NAVIGATING THE COMPLICATED GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACY TO DETERMINE APPROPRIATE ENTITLEMENTS, EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE, AND MORE. IN 2018, OVER 4,000 CASES WERE RESOLVED, SURVIVORS WERE CONNECTED TO OVER $4M IN RETROACTIVE BENEFITS, AND OVER $104M IN EDUCATION BENEFITS WERE IDENTIFIED. THROUGH STRONG PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE (CUMULATIVE OVER $700K IN 2018) GAVE FAMILIES PEACE OF MIND AS THEY COPED WITH THEIR LOSS AND BEGAN TO ADJUST TO AN ALTERED FUTURE.IN ADDITION TO THESE SERVICES, TAPS SUPPORT STRETCHES TO REACH SURVIVING MILITARY FAMILIES WHERE THEY LIVE - IN THE HEART OF THEIR COMMUNITIES, CONNECTING FAMILIES WITH GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS AS WELL AS FREE AND UNLIMITED CLINICAL GRIEF COUNSELING SERVICES. TAPS CARE GROUPS ARE AVAILABLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY, OFFERING SURVIVORS THE ABILITY TO FEEL THE WARMTH AND CONNECTION OF OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSS IN THE COMFORT OF FAMILIAR SURROUNDINGS. THESE GROUPS ALLOW GRIEVING FAMILIES TO HAVE SUSTAINED CONNECTIONS, HELPING THEM TO KNOW THEY ARE NOT ALONE ON THEIR GRIEF JOURNEY AND HAVE THE TAPS FAMILY TO BE PRESENT FOR THEM AS LONG AS THEY NEED.EACH MEETING IS CO-HOSTED BY A TAPS PEER MENTOR AND A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. A TAPS PEER MENTOR IS A MILITARY SURVIVOR WHO IS AT LEAST 18 MONTHS BEYOND THEIR LOSS AND HAS COMPLETED TRAINING TO BE A COMPANION FOR NEW SURVIVORS. CARE GROUPS ARE NOT THERAPY BUT THEY ARE THERAPEUTIC. SURVIVORS ARE GIVEN TIME TO TALK, OPPORTUNITIES TO LISTEN, AND RECEIVE THE PRECIOUS GIFT OF AN ATMOSPHERE OF VALIDATION AND COMPASSION. TAPS ALSO PROVIDES SURVIVORS AWARENESS OF ADDITIONAL BEREAVEMENT GROUPS IN THEIR COMMUNITY. THESE GROUPS ARE VETTED AND THE SURVIVOR IS ABLE TO CONFIDENTLY CHOOSE FROM A CUSTOMIZED LISTING OF GROUPS IN ORDER TO GAIN ACCESS TO ONGOING CONNECTION AND SUPPORT CLOSE TO HOME.TECHNOLOGY AND |

EACH YEAR, TAPS INVITES SURVIVING FAMILIES TO COME TOGETHER FOR TWO MAJOR NATIONAL EVENTS OFFERING HOPE AND HEALING, CONNECTION TO RESOURCES, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO REMEMBER AND HONOR THEIR HERO. THE NATIONAL MILITARY SURVIVOR SEMINAR AND GOOD GRIEF CAMP EXTENDS INVITATIONS TO ALL SURVIVORS AND OVER 2,000 PARTICIPATE IN THIS FLAGSHIP EVENT HELD OVER MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND IN WASHINGTON, DC. SPEAKERS INCLUDE THE VERY BEST AUTHORITIES IN GRIEF AND TRAUMA; EVENTS INCLUDE PARTICIPATION IN THE MEMORIAL DAY PARADE, BEING GUESTS OF THE PRESIDENT AT ARLINGTON; ATTENDING WORKSHOPS AND SHARING GROUPS FOCUSED ON COPING WITH LOSS; AND OPPORTUNITIES TO COME TOGETHER WITH OTHERS. FUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES ALL EVENT LOGISTICS, MEALS FOR FAMILIES OVER FIVE DAYS; ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS THAT PROFOUNDLY IMPACT THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF SURVIVING LOVED ONES.IN THE FALL, TAPS HOSTS A SECOND NATIONAL PROGRAM FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE IN THE MILITARY TO SUICIDE. THE PROGRAM IS SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO OFFER A COMFORTING AND HEALING ATMOSPHERE. FUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM, SERVING OVER 1,000 ATTENDEES INCLUDES ALL LOGISTICS, MEALS; SUPPORT STAFFING, MATERIALS AND PROGRAMS OF HOPE AND HEALING FOLLOWING THIS COMPLICATED LOSS. TAPS TRACKS THE IMPACT THESE TWO EVENTS HAVE ON PARTICIPANTS, AND WE ARE PROUD OF THE SURVEY FEEDBACK WE RECEIVE. AS ONE SURVIVOR SHARED, "SAVED MY LIFE! BEFORE COMING TO THE TAPS MEMORIAL SEMINAR, I HAD ALL BUT GIVEN UP. ACTUALLY, I HAD A PLAN THAT IF "THIS" DIDN'T WORK OUT...I WAS ON MY WAY OUT. THAT'S A HORRIBLE THING TO ADMIT TO, BUT I FEEL COMPELLED TO MAKE IT PRETTY CLEAR THAT WE AS THE LEFT BEHIND/SURVIVORS SUFFER FROM THAT NASTY ACRONYM PTSD, AFTER SUCH A DEVASTATING LOSS OF SUCH AMAZING SON'S, DAUGHTER'S, SPOUSES, SIBLINGS AND CHOSEN FAMILY (WHAT MY SON CALLED HIS FRIENDS). I DON'T KNOW WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS, BUT MY LIFE PLAN HAS CHANGED AND HAS EXTENDED TO INCLUDE TAPS AS A MAJOR LIFE SOURCE! I AM EXCITED TO WORK AT LIVING MY PASSIONS OF ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS OF SINGING, PAINTING, WRITING, AND LISTENING TO MUSIC THAT UPLIFTED AND INSPIRES ME AGAIN. I'VE LEARNED THAT I AM ENOUGH. I AM LIKEABLE AND EVEN LOVEABLE! I'M BEAUTIFUL AND FUNNY. I'M COURAGEOUS AND INTELLIGENT! I AM A LOVING MOTHER OF AN AMAZING SON, AND HE IS MY REASON FOR LIVING...NOT DYING! GOD BLESS YOU ALL, FOR ALL YOU DO TO WELCOME, LISTEN, SHARE, HUG, COMFORT, EDUCATE, EVOLVE AND PROGRESS IN MAKING OUR FAMILIES FEEL SAFE AND VALUED...AND FOR SAVING LIVES!" ANOTHER OFFERED THESE THOUGHTS OF THE IMPACT OF THE NATIONAL EVENT: "I WENT TO THE SUICIDE SURVIVOR SEMINAR IN OCTOBER FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT WAS 5 MONTHS AFTER MY HUSBAND DIED AND IT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE HARDEST AND MOST EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCES I CHOSE TO DO. HOWEVER, IT FELT GOOD TO BE AROUND PEOPLE WHO WERE UNDERSTANDING AND COMPASSIONATE AND WHO HAD AN IDEA OF HOW I FELT AND WHAT I WAS GOING THROUGH. I AM VERY THANKFUL FOR TAPS AS THEIR RESOURCES HAVE BEEN SOME OF THE MOST HELPFUL THINGS I HAVE FOUND SINCE HE DIED" |
