Australia’s leader in inner connection in young people

Unlike therapy, Highway sessions do not diagnose or treat. They support a person’s own capacity to find meaning, clarity, and balance. Our approach empowers self-discovery, guided by genuine connection and certified facilitators.

We do this through in-person retreats and a range of school programs throughout Victoria, and online peer-led sessions delivered nation-wide.
