About
The principals of TPIC, Rick Brown, Denise Mills, John McNeil and Kent Hill bring years of experience in helping shape solutions in education, healthcare, law enforcement, PTSD treatment, real estate and high school, college, and professional sports. The Pacific Institute Community was founded in 2007 and during the pandemic, the team came together to focus TPIC’s efforts to assist people in breaking from the downward spirals and mental health malaise, brought on by the pandemic, in order to help individuals, flourish again. Achieving Balanced Well Being (ABW) was created to bring these concepts into your home, workplace or classroom in a book club format presented either online or in person. Please see more information here on this site!

Note from Rick
During our recent challenges surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and with issues of anxiety, depression and stress impacting all of society, the partners here with The Pacific Institute Community (TPIC) came together to create a path to a more fulfilling and balanced life!
We created the online, video-based curriculum entitled “Achieving Balanced Well Being” (ABW) which combines years of research from the field of cognitive and positive psychology to provide simple tools to make an impact in your life and those around you!
Centered around a “book club” model, these discussion groups have had a huge impact on helping a myriad of individuals and organizations. From 6,000 nurses in Kansas City, to the Washington DC Teachers Union, from Towson University student athletes to the Coaches with 22Zero.org, helping veterans suffering from PTSD. Programs with the US Patent & Trade Office, Keller Williams Real Estate, The National Association of Realtors and others are all searching for the same answers, how to help their associates grow and prosper during challenging times!
We encourage you to take a look at our curriculum here and sign up for a class that could change your life! It’s easy and presented all online with weekly study clubs around your schedule! Please contact me with any questions! We’re so glad you took the time to check into this, can’t wait to hear how we can help you!
Make it a great day!
Rick Brown
