My Story
Tariq began Social, Life & Care with a simple belief: every person deserves to be seen, heard and supported with dignity.
After years working across mental health, disability, youth justice and trauma rehabilitation, he witnessed how powerful the right support can be in changing the direction of someone’s life.
What started as a vision to provide compassionate, evidence-based care grew into a multidisciplinary service dedicated to empowering individuals and families. Today, Tariq leads Social, Life & Care with the same passion that inspired its beginning — a commitment to community, wellbeing and meaningful human connection.
