đź’¬ What can we achieve when we work together?

This week, our Outreach Practitioner Mariyha had the opportunity to spend some time with the team at CGL Alcohol Service, sharing more about what we offer at Reclaim and, most importantly, how we can work together to support the people and communities we serve.

We talked about the importance of making sure people can access therapeutic and culturally responsive support that feels relevant, safe and accessible to them.

Because when organisations connect, share knowledge and work collaboratively, our communities benefit. ❤️

A big thank you to CGL for having us! We’re looking forward to continuing the conversation and exploring how we can work together to make a difference.

Partnership really does make a difference.

There’s something powerful about seeing young people show up, week after week, committed to their own personal development.

And honestly? That’s when you know you’re doing something right. At Vibe & Thrive, in partnership with Birmingham Children's Trust our mission is simple:

Leave our young people better than we found them.

Not just for today.

We want to give them the resilience, the space and practical tools, they can carry with them as they transition into adulthood.

The real win?

đź“ŚWatching them turn up consistently.
đź“ŚWatching their confidence grow.
đź“ŚHearing them speak differently about themselves and their future.

And it’s a privilege to be part of that journey.

Our session with our very own Ellie got real đź’—

We spoke about trauma, how it can show up in everyday life, and how sometimes the things we do, feel or think can make so much more sense when we understand what we’ve been through.

There were honest conversations, plenty of “wait… I do that!” moments, and lots of reflection 🥹

And of course, the girls got creative and made their own little toolboxes 📦🧰 packed with things they can actually use when life feels a bit too much.

No judgement. No pressure. Just a safe space to talk, learn, laugh and figure things out together. đź’Ś

Proud of the girls for showing up and being so open 🤍

We had an amazing day working in partnership with Birmingham Children's Trust, delivering a therapeutic Walk & Talk followed by a creative painting session led by our incredible therapist, Ellie.

It was lovely to see young people from across Birmingham come together for a picnic and fun day, beautifully organised by Keisha from the Children's Trust. Days like these highlight the power of collaboration in creating safe, supportive spaces where young people can connect, express themselves, and have fun.

It's always a pleasure partnering with BCT, 3 years in and we’re loving it 🥳

"I needed this. Thank you for bringing me here." 🌿

That sentence says more than we ever could.

Last week, our Vibe & Thrive group headed to a nature reserve. No expectations. No pressure. Just space.

For so many young people, finding the words to explain how they're feeling can feel impossible. Sometimes there are no words. Sometimes it feels safer to stay quiet.

So instead, we painted.

We walked with our journals, noticed the little things around us, sat with our thoughts, and let colours, brushstrokes, and creativity say the things that can often feel hard to verbalise.

Last week, we had the privilege of delivering a two-day training programme for the team at Midlands Metropolitan Hospital.

The sessions focused on raising awareness of Reclaim's therapeutic support services, sharing our approach to engaging individuals and communities, and exploring how culturally responsive practice can strengthen relationships, improve access to support, and create more inclusive services.

Throughout the two days, we facilitated discussions on meaningful engagement with culturally diverse communities, highlighting the importance of trust, understanding, lived experience, and person-centred approaches in delivering effective therapeutic support.

A sincere thank you to the team at Midlands Metropolitan Hospital for your warm welcome.

Real Talk đź“Ś

Tonight's Vibe & Thrive session was all about attachments and relationships...

We talked about the ways we attach to people, the stories we tell ourselves, and how our past experiences quietly shape our present relationships. There were moments of honesty, vulnerability, and reflection that reminded us we're all carrying something and we're all learning.

If this session taught us anything, it's this: the relationship you have with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship in your life. The more awareness we build, the more freedom we create.

Four years đź“Śđź’Ś

For the last four years, we've had the privilege of partnering with the City of Birmingham Schools AP Taskforce, travelling across eight campuses throughout Birmingham to provide 1-1 therapeutic support for young people in Alternative Provision.

Every campus. Every conversation. Every young person is a step closer to our assignment to leave people better than we found them.

These aren't just appointments in a diary.
They're moments where young people finally feel heard. Where trust is built. Where trauma is acknowledged instead of punished.

The reality is that many of these young people have experienced challenges that most people will never see. Behaviour is often a language for pain, and without tailored therapeutic support, too many children are misunderstood instead of understood.

We’re blessed to have Charlotte, and Michaela leading this work. Their commitment, and unwavering belief in every young person they meet is nothing short of inspiring.

To the City of Birmingham Schools AP Taskforce, thank you for trusting us over the last four years.

Life Lab: Escape Mode

This week's Life Lab session explored "Escape Mode" a space for young people to reflect on where they go, physically or emotionally, when life feels heavy.

Together, we had honest conversations about the ways we cope with stress, pressure, and overwhelming emotions. We explored the difference between healthy escapes that help us recharge and unhealthy patterns that can leave us feeling more isolated.

At Journal to Dreams, a huge part of our work is creating spaces where young people feel seen, heard, and empowered to develop healthier ways of coping.

A huge thank you to our partners Aquarius for working alongside us to deliver meaningful experiences that support young people's mental health and wellbeing.
