OUR FEEDBACK
Male Music Artist, 19
"Stefan helped me to see things from a new perspective in a way that has allowed me to have a more positive outlook on my life. I’ve now been equipped with a new level of self-awareness that has begun to inform the way in which I handle scenarios in my life”
Project Coordinator (You Press)
"I appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with AleX Higgins Academy and the guidance and support provided during mentoring sessions for young individuals. I find it useful when young individuals actively apply the knowledge gained (in sessions with Stefan or Natasha) to their personal or professional growth”
