Objectives

Vibes in Care CIC (ViC) helps young people in care or at risk, utilising the unique insights of our founder, Arshan, a care-experienced social entrepreneur. ViC enhances the quality of care these young individuals receive by delivering specialised educational programs, implementing innovative care practices, and actively engaging in advocacy to effect systemic changes.

By fostering strong collaboration, ViC aims to create a robust network of care-experienced individuals and supportive organisations, enhancing resource sharing and the adoption of best practices across the sector. Our comprehensive training programs, backed by ongoing research, are designed to empower professionals and service providers, thereby improving the care and support provided to young people. This ensures they have the opportunities necessary to overcome challenges and achieve their full potential.

The impact of our work not only elevates individual lives but will also influence broader societal attitudes and policies concerning youth care, promoting a more inclusive and supportive community for all young people in need.

Activities

Vibes in Care CIC undertakes a range of strategic activities aimed at improving care and outcomes for young people in care or at risk. These activities are designed to meet our core objectives of enhancing education, support, and advocacy for care-experienced youth:

Educational Programs and Workshops: ViC will deliver tailored educational sessions to care professionals and service providers, focusing on essential topics such as trauma-informed care, mental health challenges, and understanding the social determinants of health.
Innovative Care Practices: Our approach includes the development and implementation of cutting-edge care practices based on the latest research and evidence, enhancing the effectiveness of care services through technological integration and pilot projects.
Advocacy and Policy Work: ViC aims to actively engage in policy advocacy and influence legislation and public policies that impact young people in care. This involves creating policy briefs, participating in policy forums, and building coalitions to support meaningful legislative changes.
Research and Development: Ongoing research initiatives help us identify gaps in the care system and inform our training and advocacy efforts. ViC aims to collaborate with academic institutions and other entities to publish research findings that advance the understanding of care issues.
Community Network Building: By fostering a network of care-experienced individuals, professionals, and organisations, ViC aims to facilitate the exchange of resources and best practices, enhancing the support system available to young people in care.
Support and Mentorship Programs: ViC aims to provide direct support and mentorship to young people, helping them develop personal and professional skills, and offering emotional support and guidance for educational and career advancement.

Through these activities, Vibes in Care CIC strives to create a nurturing and empowering environment for young people in care, ensuring they have the opportunities and support needed to thrive. Each initiative is a step towards transforming the care system into one that is more responsive and attuned to the needs of its beneficiaries.
