Challenging episode 9: Tara's Story, Special introduction by Russell Brand
A special thank you to comedian Russell Brand for introducing this episode.
Welcome to Challenging, a podcast by Shelter reflecting on the ambitious and life-changing service run with Birmingham Changing Futures Together, that helped people with multiple and complex needs out of homelessness.
If this is the only episode of Challenging you listen to, you’ve picked a good one.
In one true story of someone we’ve helped, all the things we’ve talked about over the past eight episodes are brought together.
Someone experiencing homelessness, mental health issues, substance misuse and offending behaviour; every one of the multiple and complex needs.
The story shows client-led recovery, holistic approaches, collaboration, and truly understanding what they’re going through, helping turn their life around with knowledge you couldn’t ever learn on a training course. You’ve been there, so you know the way out.
For Tara’s privacy and that of her family’s, we’ve changed her name for this podcast.

If you’re enjoying this podcast, we’d be really grateful if you rated and reviewed it on your favourite podcatcher. Doing so helps ensure this is heard by even more supporters, and even more housing and support professionals, and that helps us in our mission to keep the work of the Lead Worker Peer Mentor service going.
