Growth and Hope after loss: How TAPS facilitates posttraumatic growth in those grieving military deaths

Blog Article

We examined posttraumatic growth for 691 participants of the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS).Peer mentors of bereaved individuals experienced greater posttraumatic Fee growth (PTG) and reported higher psychological health than those who were non-peer mentors.Active involvement in TAPS and resilience consistently and positively predicted all types of PTG.These prediction models were far stronger (R2, AIC) for the suicide-bereaved sample than those bereaved by other causes, and post-hoc analyses suggest suicide-bereaved benefitted more than those bereaved by other vibrating-anal causes from active participation in TAPS.
