WELCOME to the Tasha newsletter for staff, stakeholders and our local community.

Our vision is to be a trusted name in West London for vulnerable people suffering from substance misuse problems or emotional difficulties.

We aim to offer high quality, effective and efficient range of services available to the people who most need our help. We help create recovery communities where people that had once been hard to reach are living stable, healthy and independent lives, engaging with society and fulfilling their potential. We intend to build on our existing strengths by providing an online therapeutic platform that can benefit people all over the country.

One of our biggest challenges is become more productive and efficient and to improve the care we deliver to our clients and to improve the working lives of our staff. During the year we introduced new working practices that improved productivity and gave people who use our services more choice and control over their lives.

Stress Awareness workshops

We have begun the delivery of Stress Awareness Workshops. The aim of the workshops is to help employees in the workplace by giving them information to recognise stress and the tools to deal with stress effectively. “Very empowering” and “very interesting” were two comments made by delegates at the end of their first Workshop. We can deliver Stress Awareness Workshops either in your workplace or at our offices in Hounslow.

TASHA WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP - TASHA and E.A.S.E

Tasha Foundation and E.A.S.E (Empowering Action and Social Esteem) have teamed up to deliver neighbourhood learning programmes in Hounslow wards: Bedfont and Brentford.  The IT taster sessions have proved popular among local residents.  It has been designed for people of all ages and backgrounds who want to improve their skills. Learners are also made aware of the dangers of on-line fraud and explained how to keep their personal details safe when shopping or banking on the Internet.  The classes are full of enthusiastic learners taking their first steps.  John, one of the learners said: “I’m so grateful for this opportunity. I would never have learnt how to use the e-mail without this course. Thank you for all you patience and support.”

12 Hours that can change your life!

The TASHA Foundation is delivering “Living Life to the Full” training sessions.  Sessions include Problem solving, Balanced thinking, Building confidence, Unhelpful behaviours, Healthy living  and Assertiveness.  Each training course will consist of 8 weekly sessions of 1½ hours each and are being held in Ealing and Hounslow in May 2011.

TASHA and EALING DAAT

Tasha and Ealing DAAT are piloting a ground breaking scheme to introduce personalisation for clients with a substance misuse background.  The pilot is being funded by Resolving Chaos a newly formed Social enterprise within the Department of Health.  The pilot will establish how clients could access personal budgets to maintain recovery.  We intend to disseminate the learning from this pilot as it becomes available and we invite interested commissioners and clients to contact Keith Thomas, Ealing services manager at keith.thomas@tasha-foundation.org.uk
