Some of the warmest memories involve walking with my mother to the library to borrow books filled with characters real or imagined. My favorites still involve individuals faced with challenges to fulfilling their lives. The theme of my career has been to help such individuals. For 30 years at Child and Family Services in Newport, RI, I was responsible for developing new programs to enhance the well-being, especially of the disadvantaged children, adolescents, couples, families, and older adults. To keep up with my children pursuing Ph.D.s, I went part time to earn mine in Social Work. My dissertation applied Jim’s model to organizational change and by chance it led to a major contract spent on starting up Pro-Change Behavior Systems, Inc. With our 20 talented staff, we have produced award-winning, digitally-based programs that set new standards for impacts on the biggest threats to the health and well-being of a broad range of populations. Recently we sold Pro-Change to two of our leaders who have been with us from the start. Instead of retiring, I am repurposing. This includes serving on the Friends of Mill Valley Library Board. A special thrill is having recently published Changing to Thrive, which I look forward to seeing on the bookshelves of libraries. Visit my website: http://jprochaska.com/
