VAST Journey

VAST Journey is a behavioral change app that helps you overcome challenges, achieve personal growth, and improve your overall quality of life. It guides you to identify a challenge you are facing, break it down into manageable steps, recognize obstacles in your path, gather helpful tools and resources, connect with supporters, seize opportunities that await you, reflect on your progress, and develop character virtues and skills. You can also use VAST Journey to help another person overcome a challenge if they are unable to recognize or address it themselves. In the VAST Journey app, you will become the hero of your own story. Choose from five real-world quests designed to address your specific challenge and set off on your journey! Navigate the app using the following tools: * Home: Take action using special Opportunity Awaits cards designed to help you stay focused on your goals or view your user profile to keep track of your progress. * Media: Access expert-curated media and activity recommendations (to read, watch, listen to, play, interact with, etc.) that have been chosen specifically to guide you to success. * Quests: View the Rules for Success you have been given to help you make progress. * Allies: Reach out to people who you trust to support you and help hold you accountable. * Journal: Reflect on your progress and determine what steps to take next. VAST Journey will help you make progress every day.
