These services are provided through
our core strands, the "pillars" of TACT:
• Drop-in service (no appointment or
formal diagnosis needed)
• Outreach Service
• Listening Service
• Night Service
• Strickland Housing
• TACT Training
2025 has also seen the launch of the 111
Branches Listening Coaches and our
collaboration with MPFT. Initial data is
confirming the target of reducing calls
abandoned and call wait times to 111 option
2 are reducing.
TACT was initially founded to provide
support for those in recovery from addiction
and substance misuse. It was recognised
that a high proportion of cases of addiction,
stem from childhood trauma and
neurodiversity leading to mental ill-health. In
2017 the Clinical Commissioning Team
tendered for a Mental Health hub to provide
support for local people seeking help and
support for their mental and emotional
wellbeing. TACT won the tender, and the
central TACT principle of experts by
experience was applied to mental health.
The resulting services were commissioned
under the banner of ‘Branches’. Hence
services under TACT cover addiction
recovery and others under Branches cover
situational anguish, crisis and mental ill-
health, with dual-diagnosis spanning both.

Drop in

Tact and Branches drop in continues to offer an open door to those who need support. This provides immediate support and is at the core of all we do. Over the course of the year Drop in staff have provided crisis de-escalation on 87 occasions. Of the 87 only 3 were referred on to the Access Team and Crisis. Drop-in also offer open ended ongoing support whenever a person needs it and this has enabled staff and volunteers to create good and more importantly trusted working relationships with individuals who have often felt alone and isolated. The drop-in offers a relaxed and welcoming environment where many service users socialise after 1 to 1’s and prior to/after attending groups and/or activities, this encourages individuals to build positive and supportive social networks.

Drop-in also provides a welcoming space to those who are homeless and in need of support. Support often includes phoning other agencies and the practical provision of phone charging and a free drink and light bite.

Case Study

Male 64 years old Advised to access TACT via the Probation Service. First assessment September 2024.

Presented as very angry and isolated– had court date set at 13/01/2025. Recently housed by Housing 21 having been homeless and at one time sleeping in his car. This gentleman was waiting for an operation on his spine (3 damaged vertebrae) and prescribed significant pain relief. He had no contact with family or friends, felt depressed and had shut himself off completely, spending most of his time in his flat other than occasionally going food shopping. At the time of referral, he had stopped corresponding with his solicitor or barrister and felt that there was no need for ‘his being here’. He did not plan to come out of prison alive.

After some general conversation he began to speak about the circumstances of his court case and his feeling of injustice as he had willingly left the family house. He had also agreed to his wife selling his possessions to ensure she could obtain money but had stipulated that items of sentimental value that had belonged to his mother should not be sold and felt that this had been reneged on. His wife had accused him of sexual assault. During the 1-2-1 he revealed to me that he had suffered sexual abuse as a child, the perpetrator being a

Page 6

family member. He had not up to this point felt that he could talk about this to anyone and felt a massive sense of shame. We spoke about how this had impacted on his life, and I advised him of services that were available to him when he was ready. Over time he started to stay after his sessions for a coffee and then began to mingle with other service users.

He eventually agreed to contact his solicitor and work with them again and he also got back in touch with his brother.

He told me that he was dyslexic, and we helped to arrange storage for his possessions. We spoke before his sentencing, and he mentioned to me that he would explore the possibility of accessing therapy through the prison service. This gentleman had been very closed off and resistant to support but due to the time afforded to the drop in we were able to persevere and over time this made a real difference. He began to plan for his future.

Night Service

This service now operates 5 nights a week from 6pm to 12:00. The aim is to de-escalate those in crisis, prevent escalation and support them whilst day services are closed. Referals are open to TACT/Branches, Crisis Team, CMHT and Mind Calm Cafes. Number of referrals: 56

Number of individuals seen: 38

The service performance is evidenced by the GAD-7 an PHA-9 outcomes, done on the first and last sessions.

Chart 1

Bar chart showing average PHQ9 scores for listening service clients

The PHQ-9 questionnaire is the depression module of the PRIME-MD diagnostic instrument for common mental disorders. Higher scores on the PHQ-9 reflect higher levels of depression, while lower scores reflect lower levels of depression. Chart 1 shows that the average PHQ-9 scores for listening service clients of all genders and ages were lower after ending sessions than when they began, with the exception of males aged 18-30 that showed on average no change to their scores. Females aged 18-30 displayed a mean decrease of 4 (8 in the first questionnaire and 4 in the last), aged 30-50 displayed a mean decrease of 8.02 (16.42 in the first questionnaire and 8.4 in the last) and aged 50+ displayed a mean decrease of 8 (16 in the first questionnaire and 8 in the last). Males aged 18-30 displayed no change in their scores (10 in the first questionnaire and 10 in the last), aged 30-50 displayed a mean decrease of 8.5 (15 in the first questionnaire and 6.5 in the last) and 50+ displayed a mean decrease of 7 (27 in the first questionnaire and 20 in the last).

Case Study

Female 32 years old. Initial PHQ9/GAD7 score – 13/16 Referred self due to relationship issues and feeling very stressed.

Began looking into the relationship with a new partner and issues within it as daughter is rebelling against the new partner and not wanting to be at home with them, therefore causing issues at school.

Spoke about how they had had a good childhood and feels guilty her daughter isn’t having a good one especially when she hears her crying. Talking about how she tried to push her partner down the stairs and how guilty she feels about this as she was in an abusive relationship before- this led to her admitting she needed help, suffering from anxiety, and she doesn’t like herself.

As sessions went on, she stated things were beginning to “click”, things becoming better in the family, she is being more open with her partner and talking to him. Finding grounding techniques helpful. Started looking into previous abusive relationship and how it has affected her, still feeling useless, alone and worthless. Looked into her history of drug use and how this affected her relationship with her mum, her dad helped her which created a breakthrough.

Reported to feeling ok, having more family time but is feeling anxious about talking about her relationship, but is willing to try, she began to recognise she wants more out of the relationship and is getting better at communicating, feels the sessions are helping.

Her communication skills are continuing to improve, she begins to visit family more and is now waking up feeling happier and stronger, she stated she feels more like her authentic self.

As mood was improving, she decided she wanted to visit her anger and what she wants and needs when angry. We did work on her trauma response. She said she was willing to begin to think about how she always puts others first.

Midway PHQ9/GAD7 score – 5/3

She now is beginning to look at her negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones. She reports feeling positive, and has managed to secure a job, she is feeling like she is a better mum and partner and is setting boundaries within these relationships. She states she is feeling more compassion for herself. She begins to focus on her relationships and how she feels blamed and punished for things, reports feeling “unheard” and says she is struggling to explain how she is feeling. During the following sessions she begins to find she can do things on her own and decides she wants to “make things up with mum” but recognises she needs to set boundaries. Her relationship with her daughter is improving, she is feeling more able to let her past experiences go when they crop up, she is learning that she can’t change what her mum says, but is able to change her reactions, she says she is feeling stronger. Things are going well so ending the sessions is brought up, she said things are going well, she is feeling good and calm and feels able to manage things, she said she feels in control of her feelings.

The final session it is reported that she is feeling positive, she feels “normal” she acknowledges she has gained so much and feels great about it. She now feels she has many tools to cope in the future and feels at peace, she feels so different and is happy within her life. Final PHQ9/GAD7 score – 0/2

Case Study

J was referred to TACT housing 6 months ago after experiencing a period of homelessness following relationship breakdown. He has a history of alcohol addiction, a drink-driving charge, and was consuming a significant amount of cannabis prior to his entry into the program. Progress and Outcomes:

J successfully reduced his cannabis consumption over the first six weeks, achieving a clean substance test. While he did experience two single-day relapses with cannabis during emotionally challenging periods (personal anniversaries), he accessed support immediately to process these relapses. These moments were seen as opportunities for learning, and J worked closely with his support team to develop a "hypothetical toolbox" of strategies for managing high-stress situations moving forward. The reduction in cannabis use has been complemented by J's decision to stay sober from alcohol, as he continues to focus on his recovery journey. His substance test results have been clear for several

Page 10

weeks, demonstrating sustained progress.

Mental Health and Emotional Regulation:

J has made significant strides in managing his mental health, with the support of listening service and emotional regulation strategies learned through his one-to-one support, and recovery groups. His ability to confront personal anniversaries and other stressors has improved, and he has developed a more grounded approach to managing emotions. This is reflected in his growing resilience and improved coping mechanisms during difficult times.

He reports feeling less anxious, more focused, and increasingly confident in handling life's challenges. Family Reconnection:

Through the support of social services, J has successfully regained contact with his children. While ongoing efforts are required to rebuild trust and strengthen these relationships, J is actively engaged in this process and is determined to be a more reliable and present father. Volunteering and Peer Support:

One of the most notable outcomes for J has been his involvement in TACT’s volunteer program. J has been actively participating in maintaining the grounds of Strickland House and Housing, contributing to the upkeep of the property and engaging with other residents.

J's commitment to recovery and his growing sense of purpose have led him to take on a peer support role within the program. He has been "mentoring" newer clients, offering support, encouragement, and guidance based on his lived experiences. This role as a mentor has not only reinforced his own recovery but also allowed him to create a sense of community for others who are facing similar challenges.

J's ability to "mentor" others demonstrate a significant shift in his outlook and his growing belief in the power of lived experience. His peers have expressed appreciation for his support and understanding.

Challenges:

J's two single-day cannabis relapses were emotionally triggered by personal anniversaries; a reminder of the ongoing work needed in emotional regulation. However, each relapse was followed by prompt action: J accessed support through therapy, recovery groups, and peers, and engaged in reflective work to understand the emotions and circumstances that led to the relapse.

The team has worked with J to help him develop his "toolbox" of strategies, which includes grounding exercises, reaching out to peers for support, and engaging in productive activities, such as volunteering or attending recovery groups. This proactive approach to relapse management has fostered a sense of agency and control for J, who now feels more equipped to handle future emotional triggers.

Key Strengths:

Resilience: J has shown remarkable resilience in facing his challenges. Despite the occasional setbacks, he continues to move forward in his recovery journey.

Engagement in Recovery: J has consistently engaged with the TACT recovery program, attending groups and educational sessions, and is taking an active role in his own healing.

Peer Support: J's growth into a mentor for others reflects his increasing sense of purpose and the value he places on supporting others in similar circumstances.

Commitment to Family: J's ongoing efforts to rebuild his relationship with his children demonstrate his commitment to creating a healthier and more stable family life. Conclusion:

Over the past six months, J has made impressive progress in his recovery. His commitment to the TACT Housing Recovery Program has enabled him to address multiple aspects of his life, including substance use, mental health, family relationships, and community involvement. While challenges remain, particularly around emotional regulation and potential triggers, J's active participation in his recovery and his role as a peer mentor have been key highlights. His journey reflects both the challenges of addiction recovery and the powerful transformation that can take place with the right support system and commitment.

Training & Education

Over the past year courses offed include Level 2 Counselling, Level 2 Addiction Recovery Coaching, Safeguarding, Boundaries, Level 2 Mentoring, Level 2 Food Safety, Basics in Computing and our

Page 11

weekly Basic English and Maths Groups. Out of 142 enrolments there were 121 completion.

Case Study

Male aged 35 who will be referred to as Joe throughout to maintain confidentiality.

Joe first came into TACT for support in December of 2019. Joe reported increasing isolation from family due to a recent marital brake up. Joe struggles to regulate emotions due to a traumatic brain injury and reported feeling depressed.

Due to covid restrictions the following year and Joe’s declining mental health he wasn’t seen again in service until 2022 when a referral into Outreach was received.

Outreach workers began supporting Joe in his own home. Due to a complete fear of leaving his property Joe was isolated with no support network. Joe had begun to drink alcohol as a means of coping with depression and loneliness, and this was having a negative impact on his declining mental health. Joe also had court appearances looming due to fighting for visitation rights to see his child and regular consultant visits for his brain injury. Joe reported feeling overwhelmed, missing some appointments, being depressed and on increasingly frequent occasions he had thought about ending his life. After several visits outreach managed to support Joe in attending some appointments and with encouragement to reduce his drinking, with a view to stop completely. With this support Joe also began attending TACT again and over several weeks this slowly increased. Joe began making friends and attended some of the support groups. Joe was now able to attend and stay without direct staff support.

After a few months Joe expressed a desire to begin volunteering in the café. Joe’s confidence was increasing and with initial encouragement and support in 2024 Joe undertook his first training course in Food Safety. This was a huge step for Joe who hadn’t been in any form of education since leaving school. This increased Joes self-belief and reaffirmed he had the ability to continue learning.

To date Joe has completed the following training; Safeguarding and Boundaries, Mentoring level 2, Counselling Level 2, Addiction Recovery and most recently Naloxone training. Joe has become an integral part of the team here at TACT. He is reliable, trustworthy and hospitable to all who walk through the doors. Joe’s increased confidence now allows him to mentor others who express an interest and start volunteering in the café.

When Joe was asked what he enjoyed about learning and volunteering he replied “The training has helped me understand myself and others more. I know I do a good job in the café and If I didn’t volunteer, I would be locked away on my own inside the house. Helping others gives me sense of purpose, I have a place here”.

This case study illustrates the importance of training within the context of lived experience and how it can break down barriers and enhance understanding of diverse perspectives. The increased self-belief that Joe expresses has had a life changing impact on him with a ripple effect being felt by the people he interacts with throughout the day. These interactions seemed impossible just a few years ago.

Outreach/DD Calm Café

This service is a working partnership and facilitated by staff from TACT, Telfor Mind, ABT and T & W Council. The DD Outreach underpins the provision of Dual Diagnosis Calm Cafes at both TACT and ABT on a Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. Access is via a referral basis only for individuals who are having difficulties with their mental health and alcohol/drug use. The Outreach provides around five structured sessions or home visits to those unable to leave their homes due to either mobility, poor mental health and/or addiction issues with the view to encouraging them to access other services for support.

This year Outreach have seen and provided the following: - 36 individuals supported

Page 12

- 569 Home visits/sessions conducted

Our Outreach workers also attend the DD Calm Café sessions on Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons and provide support to attendees when required.

Case Study

Client Overview Sue, a 59-year-old female, was referred to the TACT Outreach service by a worker from Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT). The referral was received on 22 January 2025 and included the following summary: “Sue has been engaged with IAPT and Inclusion services, which are either concluding or have already ended. She has made significant changes to her alcohol use and is currently abstinent. Previously, she was drinking daily (non-dependent use) but has since reduced her intake to achieve abstinence. Sue experiences ongoing anxiety and reports difficulty attending group sessions, hence the request for community-based support. She also struggles with social interactions and meeting new people. Additionally, Sue has a history of domestic abuse and is currently working with a domestic abuse practitioner.” Engagement with TACT Outreach Sue has received four outreach home visits, beginning on 27 March 2025. She has also been supported to attend the TACT Women’s Group on four occasions. Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (SWEMWBS)

• Mid score on 21/04/2025: 24 (For scoring methodology, see: SWEMWBS Scoring Guide) Background and Presenting Issues At the time of initial contact, Sue had been discharged from other services. She was born with a genetic cleft palate, accompanied by partial hearing loss, and she speaks with a mild speech impediment. This has been a longstanding source of self-consciousness, contributing to significant social anxiety. While she described her parents as supportive, her school years were marked by bullying and distress, particularly related to being asked to speak in class. Sue is a mother of two. Her 22-year-old son lives with his partner, and her 15-yearold daughter, recently diagnosed as autistic, resides with her. Throughout her marriage, Sue was subjected to coercive control, psychological abuse, and physical violence. Although her son ceased contact with his father some time ago, her daughter only recently decided to end contact in early 2025, following repeated harassment by her father under the guise of child contact. While Sue initially reported to other services that she was abstinent from alcohol, she later confided that this was not entirely accurate. She felt unable to disclose this to her IAPT practitioner for fear of judgment but felt comfortable doing so with a lived experience worker. Sue does not drink daily but reports binge drinking wine approximately once a week when emotionally overwhelmed. This has reduced from around twice a week at the time of initial outreach engagement in March. Support Provided Sue has spoken positively about the counselling she received through IAPT, reporting increased confidence and the ability to set clearer personal boundaries. However, she continues to experience emotional isolation and struggles with forming new relationships due to her speech concerns. In response, support has focused on: • Teaching relaxation and self-soothing techniques • Encouraging social engagement through the TACT Women’s Group Sue attended her first session on 16 April 2025. Initially, she remained silent, then at her second session, she disclosed her speech difficulties to the group. By her third session, she participated more freely and shared openly. At her fourth session, Sue demonstrated increased independence, and the high level of support she has received to enable her to attend the group will now be reduced over the coming weeks. Additional Support Activities To facilitate her group attendance, I have: • Provided transportation to and from sessions

• Offered emotional and practical support during sessions

• Used travel time to reinforce coping strategies and alcohol reduction techniques

Conclusion

This case study highlights the complexity of Sue’s needs, which span trauma history, mental health, social anxiety, and substance use. Her progress, including reduced alcohol use and increased social engagement, underscores the importance of offering extended, personalized outreach interventions. The case clearly supports the need for longer-term engagement to achieve sustainable outcomes for clients with multifaceted needs referred to TACT Outreach
