Death by suicide leaves behind a wake of emotions and challenges that complicate an already painful grieving process. Suicide loss survivors have a safe space within TAPS to remember, honor, and grieve their loved one's entire story. TAPS programming and resources provide gentle, understanding support for working through the complicated emotions associated with this type of loss.

TAPS POSTVENTION MODEL
The word “postvention” may be new for many of us. Postvention is the act of caring for those who are bereaved by suicide. It was created because it became evident that losing a loved one to suicide is a different kind of journey. For more than a decade, TAPS has developed and refined a highly effective best-practice Postvention Model. This model provides a roadmap to move from surviving to healing to thriving after loss. It was created based on best practices in trauma, grief, and peer-to-peer support and was refined and tweaked by thousands of survivors who have found hope, healing, and growth in the program.
