About
TCA grew from a grassroots desire to support individuals struggling to cope with problem drinking. Although the organisation has grown, and the range of services has expanded, we have remained true to this underpinning ethos of responding to the needs as expressed by the people and families living in communities across the three local authorities of Tayside.
In Dundee, we offer intandem family mentoring which aims to build positive, trusted relationships with children and young people living in kinship arrangements. Volunteer mentors meet with children, young people regularly and consistently, choosing activities to do together that they enjoy. Alongside weekly mentoring with a trained volunteer, intandem family mentoring also provides support to the wider family. This is tailored to each family’s needs and takes the form of practical or emotional support from staff or volunteers, such as a listening ear, help with strategies to manage relationships or build routines, and support to access other services.
