The Journey Centre has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with The American School of Creative Science (ASCS), launching a partnership focused on student wellbeing, teacher development, and parent engagement.

This collaboration brings together The Journey’s expertise in psychology and social-emotional learning with ASCS’s commitment to holistic education. Together, both parties aim to create a more supportive and inclusive school environment.

The Journey will be rolling out a series of programs at ASCS, including student workshops on resilience and emotional intelligence, professional development for teachers, and interactive sessions for parents. School-wide mental health campaigns and one-on-one support services are also part of the plan.

All initiatives will be led by licensed professionals and tailored to meet the school community’s needs throughout the academic year.

It’s a partnership rooted in shared values and a common goal: to help every student thrive.

Stay tuned as we bring these programs to life and share the impact along the way.

We’re proud to highlight a recent feature on the Junior Gladiators Kidpreneurs Podcast, where our Founder and CEO Amira Hasson shared the story behind The Journey and her mission to create a safe, inclusive space for neurodiverse children and families across the UAE.

What began as a personal mission for her son has grown into a purpose-driven center that empowers families and builds community. In the episode, Amira talks about the challenges she faced, how she turned advocacy into meaningful action, and how The Journey continues to lead efforts in inclusivity, accessibility, and empathy.

This conversation comes at a meaningful time. Dubai was recently named the first Certified Autism Destination in the Eastern Hemisphere, with over 70,000 people across the city trained to support individuals with autism. This recognition shows that real change starts with awareness, and lasting impact is built through belonging.
