"I would recommend Highway because it changed my life. I would recommend Highway to my friends because I got something out of it, namely a better understanding of myself and a greater sense of comfort in my future."
Edie
“My mindset has just changed since Highway. I used to be really affected by external factors like what society says, what my friends say, what my parents say. But I know myself a lot better to the point where those external factors don’t impact me as much as they used to. I have just found peace within myself.
Mandy
"Offers a wonderful space to express yourself freely and simply sitting with what is and what you want to do about it. A kind environment that promotes reflection, self-exploration and acceptance."

Start a new chapter in your life. Stop carrying the heavy stories in your life that hold you back and focus on what you want rather than what you don't want for yourself.
We found that people who focused on the "why" of life found more clarity in uncovering the "how" and "what" more easily. They were also more confident and happier with their life.
To be able to uncover your own "why" requires the ability for you to connect to your inner beliefs and values. Through open conversations your Highway Youth Facilitator will artfully help you find your true voice and connect to your inner self. It is often harder to uncover this on our own. Sometimes others can see you better than you can see yourself. That is the power of authentic human connection.
Truth is, we’re social creatures. We need connection. When we feel heard, understood, and valued we feel connected to ourselves and to the world around us.
It can be hard to speak honestly about how you feel, causing you to overthink, feel restless and overwhelmed. Sometimes you just need someone to listen and be heard. Being able to talk freely and explore your life is what can give you clarity. Sometimes you don’t really know what you are thinking till you hear yourself talk. It’s okay - we’ve all been there. Stop now and find a way out of endless overthinking and needless worry. Start a Highway Journey today!
Every Highway Journey is a quality and highly tailored personal experience. Our mission is to help you find the passion for your life. To do this, our program really helps you to understand yourself through reflection and exercises. Discovering what is right for you, takes time. It is an ongoing process. That is why the Highway Journey is a 4 x 90-minute weekly session where you will experience a richer, deeper understanding of yourself. You will take away life skills and mindsets that can improve your life, making you feel more confident about yourself and your future.
To place you into a group takes significant commitment and resources. As a charity, this program has been gifted to you, each participant is directly sponsored by a generous donor that is passionate about your wellbeing. We put a lot of care into setting up each Highway Journey Group. This is our commitment to ensuring you will have a fantastic experience. Once you register, our Onboarding Manager - Anna, will get to know you and understand what you want to achieve so we can place you in the best group. If this all feels exciting for you, please go ahead and register!
