Overview

Mission

Tacid promotes the wellness, recovery and resilience of adults experiencing disabilities in pierce county.

What it reported doing in 2024

The wellness and recovery program is tacid's primary means to provide services to adults experiencing physical, sensory, developmental, cognitive and behavioral health disabilities and challenges. Guided by the principles of peer support, an evidence-based model for building hope and social connection among peers, the goal of the program is to provide a safe, respectful environment where participants can develop their strengths, learn new skills, and make the social and emotional gains needed to improve their quality of life. The wellness and recovery program is managed by a senior-level certified peer support counselor (cpc). All direct services are performed by trained cpc's. Wellness and recovery program services include peer support groups, classes and workshops, wellness opportunities including adapted yoga and sacred movement with a certified yoga teacher and upper-body massage therapy with a licensed massage therapist, monthly intuitive art classes with a professional facilitator, a drop-in day room: open 20+ hours a week for socializing and community, games, media and a computer lab, comprehensive information and referral services, a community garden, and potluck lunches. All wellness and recovery program services are offered free of charge. The drop-in day room had a total of 10 volunteers in 2024.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
