Challenge

Our 25 years of experience working with Youths in Singapore has helped us identify the following problems: 1. There are deep-rooted issues and unmet needs among youth 2. There is also a perceived normalisation of substance use 3. There is also a lack of structured post-residential care for youth offenders 4. Most of these issues are related to mental health symptoms

Solution

Through our Community & Youth Services (CYS) Division and management of the Singapore Boys' Hostel (SBHL), Trybe provides youth with guidance and offer support for their families and communities, creating a complete ecosystem of care from community-based interventions to individual aftercare services and specialised counselling and therapy for youths.

Long-Term Impact

To date, we have reached out to more than 150,000 youths through the different services for youths-at-risk, ex-offenders, and their families. In an ever-changing social landscape and the emerging complex needs of youths, we are constantly seeking ways to develop and improve the services we provide in order to make a difference in the lives of our beneficiaries.
