Customers We Serve
We harness research on learning, motivation, behavioral change and story to help people make better choices — and real life change.
Many solutions focus on one approach—therapy, small groups, academic content—but our programs combine decades of research across multiple fields with cutting-edge technology and AI to deliver real results.
At the heart of our approach is a simple truth: transformation happens when you're truly seen. Each of our programs uses the same behavioral change framework to ensure every person we serve receives high-quality care that is personal, relational, and transformational.
Journey.Do offers next-generation programs, grounded in research, combining advanced technology, trained coaches, and AI to deliver high-quality, consistent change at scale. We ensure growth happens—every time.
Research-based, connected growth platform that supports anytime, anywhere small group growth journeys. Participants connect with peers, share stories, learn useful skills, and receive validation, creating an environment of mutual growth and support.
Coaches/Growth Specialists guide every step of the journey, alleviating burdens on staff while ensuring program fidelity. Coaches provide strength-based feedback and personalized care, using evidence-based practices to ensure quality care.
Advanced AI delivers personalized insights and feedback, driving consistent and impactful growth. Gain actionable insights and identify patterns, create growth and transition plans, and to improve outcomes across individuals and organizations.

We built journey.do based on cutting-edge research in the learning sciences on how people learn. Journey.do is a human platform, not simply a content platform.
If we want real-world positive change, content is necessary, but the stories youth create in their lives with that content is more important. Life change happens through action, connection, and reflection.
Research has found that stories can literally rewire brain anatomy. Through stories, people connect in deeply personal ways – affirming possibility and validating change. And through the sharing of story, one person can find their voice and inspire possibility in another.
Empowering youth to address criminogenic needs and develop responsive life skills for positive futures. Specialty programs include gun safety, substance prevention, and adulting, serving in diversion, probation, and detention contexts.
Building protective factors and essential life skills for post-arrest success. Our re-entry program begins during incarceration and supports adults through the transition to successful reintegration.
Supporting individuals in examining substance use, engaging with 12-step recovery, transitioning from inpatient services, and enhancing recovery capital through cognitive changes.
Focused on early intervention for at-risk youth, especially those with high ACE scores. Programs include pre-arrest interventions, substance prevention, harm reduction, mental health support, and career readiness.
We help you to support youth in navigating new family dynamics, cope with separation, and build essential life skills. Our programs focus on fostering protective factors, this program empowers youth to overcome challenges and achieve stability, growth, and long-term success.
We’ve partnered with Justice System Partners (JSP) to empower staff, officers, and administrators in becoming effective coaches who support life change in those they serve. We equip justice leaders with the tools, skills, and mindset to ensure they drive lasting positive change.
“We have a relatively short window of opportunity to nudge the youth we serve into a new positive and hopeful trajectory. Providing them with a relatable forum in which to have a voice, express their experiences, and an opportunity to grow and learn better ways to manage some of the situations in their lives is paramount. If we provide this consistently in small manageable doses, we are doing our jobs. ”
“It's already stressful in their personal lives, but going into this system, they found it easy to use. Mainly it's the interactions. It's easier for them to write it down first, and then others get to see it. They like the fact that their story inspires someone else. Usually this is something given to wealthier kids, so I like that this is available for under-privileged kids. It's a way to give them an outlet to be seen. This gives them hope.”
“One of my favorite modules was growing my skills to figure out how I can accomplish my goals, using steps and growing through smaller things instead of just giving up.”
“It makes me feel good because I feel like I work hard to let out something that I probably can’t let out in person with someone. And, it can change my life."
“Through this platform, our family has found a deeper connection, bridging gaps with shared understanding about addiction, bringing us closer one lesson at a time." -
