Grief Support

Grief is not a problem to be solved. It is a weight that needs to be carried — and it is much easier to carry when you are not carrying it alone. Tap Out Depression walks alongside those who have experienced loss.

Non-clinical disclaimer: Tap Out Depression is a community awareness organization, not a clinical grief counseling provider. For professional grief therapy, please contact a licensed mental health professional.

What We Offer

Tap Out Depression is not a clinical provider. What we offer is community — and sometimes that is exactly what grief needs most.

Community Connection

The BJJ community is built on showing up for each other. We create space for people who have experienced loss to find connection, shared experience, and belonging.

Awareness Resources

We provide non-clinical awareness materials about grief, mental health, and the healing process — including downloadable tools and referrals to professional services.

Professional Referrals

We connect individuals and families to licensed grief counselors, support groups, and local mental health services in the Inland Empire and nationwide.

Common Questions

What is Tap Out Depression's grief support program?

Tap Out Depression's grief support program provides community connection, awareness resources, and referrals to professional grief services for individuals and families who have experienced loss — particularly loss related to suicide, depression, or mental health crises. We are a community organization, not a clinical provider.

Does Tap Out Depression provide grief counseling?

No. Tap Out Depression is not a licensed counseling or therapy provider. We provide community support, awareness resources, and referrals to professional grief services. For clinical grief counseling, we encourage you to contact a licensed therapist or your local mental health system.

How can BJJ help with grief?

Grief can cause profound isolation. The BJJ community offers a structured, supportive environment where people can reconnect with their bodies, build new relationships, and find a sense of purpose and forward movement. Many people in the BJJ community have experienced loss and understand what it means to get back up.
