Tenacious House is a voluntary rehabilitation program for men who want to overcome addiction and co-occurring mental health issues, so that they can go on to live a successful and fulfilling life. Our mission is to provide opportunities for these men to move from isolation, despair and instability to a life characterised by connection, hope and resilience. Building connection is the heart of our approach.
