How we Support

At Tarasis, we understand that mental health and addiction issues can significantly increase the risk of homelessness. Losing a home exacerbates these challenges for individuals, families, and the broader community. Our mission is to provide the vital support vulnerable individuals need to maintain their tenancies and achieve independent living.

We offer comprehensive assistance and guidance tailored to each person’s needs. Whether it’s supporting physical health and well-being, managing finances, or providing advice on training, education, and employment, our dedicated team is here to help.

Our Tarasis social work team is committed to making a positive impact, delivering over 52,000 support hours each year to improve the lives of our service users. With our support, individuals can find stability, build resilience, and reach their full potential.
