You are our why.
Young people have it tough! You are expected to claim your adolescence during confusing information overload, dramatic societal changes, and demographic uncertainties.
Unsurprisingly, there is a growing fear about the next generation and your emotional well-being. It is not fun to be lost and unsure – doubting the entire future.
We all would like to see you grow confident and optimistic.
So we’ve created Voix, a safe and supportive space for you to find your voice and develop your identity so you can live a fulfilling life and generously shape the future of the World.
Voix (noun) “vwah” : French for “voice”
So what is Voix?
Voix is a “playground” for finding your voice - where different experts and guides come together, consulting in their rooms and common spaces.
At Voix you:
• Get consistent clinical care if you need support
• Learn who you are
• Discover how to be confident
• Claim your future
• Challenge your distress and fears
It’s a new model of care and support for new, positive outcomes. We travel together with you in our current, rapidly changing world. Let's buckle up!
Finding your voice
We all grow up being taught how to fit into society and how to be! Yet ultimately, we must form our personalities. We stop copying others and start creating ourselves! As we stop repeating what we have learnt and started coming up with our opinions and ideas, we find our voice. We grow strong and resilient. This is the crucial first step towards our goal.
Our voice can be found in many ways – first and most – you need to find your confidence to do it. We will help you with it and guide you. It is an experience - NOT an intellectual process of “designing yourself”. This is not focusing on what is wrong but discovering yourself in action and responding to the challenges of figuring out who you are. It could be fun, but it also could be confronting. Forge yourself – chisel and sculpture … many of us have done it before, and it is ALWAYS …. WORTHWHILE!
The ecology of Voix
The ecology of Voix is Perth, in Western Australia, for those aged 12-24. They are usually middle and high school students and those who are just about to jump into the big wide World.
This ecology is filled with “cultural nomads” awkwardly placed between the child and adult healthcare systems. They are challenged by inconsistent horizons of their lives and the shrinking experience of childhood within relentlessly uncontained boundaries of the online World.
Voix applies to those searching for themselves in life (“finding their voice”) but also those more vulnerable ones already communicating their distress, suffering from profound fears and uncertainties, and reaching the need for more formal clinical support and treatment. Such support includes psychotherapy, crisis care in an accredited hospital affiliated with Voix, and medication if required.
While accessing more “traditional forms” of clinical care and therapy provided by Voix, they can also move between the activities at the Voix studio – where they can forge their resilience and courage, have fun, and learn how to be. They will be better prepared to absorb and filter the uncompromising and relentless reality and online interactions.
Voix may be provided in other locations. The issues it addresses are everywhere - young people experience the same excitement of discovering their lives, getting confused about them and forging their future in this strange, digital World.
