 Founder and Chief Wellness Officer 

Kenneth Beaupre is the founder and Chief Wellness Officer of The Psyched Group, a mental wellness center focused on empowering therapists to lead balanced lives and model optimum well-being for clients. Long: 

Kenneth Beaupre founded The Psyched Group in 2014, a mental wellness network practice focused on empowering therapists to lead joyful, fulfilling, effective lives to model and deliver optimum well-being for the clients they serve. As Chief Wellness Officer, he oversees business operations while selectively meeting with clients to stay attuned to their needs and those of therapists. 

 With a 30-year career deeply rooted in health care, Ken began in the corporate sector, selling pharmaceuticals and medical devices. He holds a master's degree in holistic counseling from Salve Regina University with thesis work in expressive art therapies, narrative therapy, and somatic psychodrama. He designed and delivered workshops in collaboration with Hospice of Dayton to help health care workers mitigate burnout and compassion-fatigue. 

Ken wrote and performed his solo-play, "Pieces of War," capturing the narratives of three generations of warfighters and gracing 500+ stages nationwide to promote dialogue, uniting and inspiring audiences to seek resolution through conflict. 

 In 1992, Ken earned a bachelor's degree from Providence College and served as a combat-trained helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army through the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC), demanding the best from the aviators he proudly led. He later worked with Volunteers of America, providing support to psychologically wounded Iraqi and Afghanistan war veterans during their post-war reintegration. 

 An avid hiker, meditator, and certified yoga instructor, Ken models living a whole life well to optimize himself and those he serves. His own journey through post-traumatic growth has led him to a fulfilling and "psyched" life with a deep desire to help others. He combines a servant-leader's heart with a creative spirit to inspire transformative journeys for many while fostering the vision of a larger psyched community.
