This weekend, hundreds of military families gathered in Arlington, VA, for a unique program designed to provide support for relatives of the fallen. Bonnie Carroll founded Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) after the death of her husband, Brig. Gen. Tom Carroll. Since its founding, they have helped more than 100,000 surviving relatives of military service members with comprehensive assistance, including financial support, counseling services, helping navigate government agencies, and much more. 

One of their signature programs is the Good Grief Camp, where children find support and community with one another, and get assigned an active duty military service member as a mentor. We share some of their stories here.
