The Brzycki Group's Positive Psychology Experts Announce a New Mental Health and Well-Being Prevention Best Practices Toolkit

STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Brzycki Group announces its latest mental health and well-being toolkit that focuses upon prevention of mental and physical illness.

Two books come together to create the toolkit to help people move from "just getting by" to "flourishing" throughout their lifecycle. The first book is for teens age 12 to 18 and their parents; the second is for 18 years and up.

People are either building up their mental health every day, or letting the world tear it down. Proven best practices help people take control of our own mental health and well-being. Developing a strong sense of Self enables people to contribute to others even as they themselves thrive.

Two-Book Mental Health and Well-Being Toolkit:

The first book—"Champions in Life: The Playbook for Teens and Their Parents with 10 Essential Skills to Optimize Mental Health"—is for families who are serious about proactively facilitating deep and meaningful conversations with their teens. They want their teens to have optimal mental health skills long before they face the traumas of the modern world.

A young adult author writes, "This playbook isn't about fixing what's broken—it's about thriving." The authors "have poured decades of insight into a hands-on, optimistic toolset aimed at helping teens tap into their full potential—and they invite parents along for the journey." Teens want to experience who they are and who they want to become. They want to experience their emotions, connect with their dreams and pursue their unique life purpose and direction.

The second book in the toolkit—"Purpose and Possibilities: How to Transform Your Life"— is firmly rooted in practicality. Book Trib writes, "it's not just some motivational poetry to read once, then leave on your coffee table untouched; it's a manual for real resilience and lasting transformation."

Mental health and well-being are the heart of a happy, healthy and flourishing life. Mental health is not simply the "absence of mental illness," but rather when people see and achieve their unique potentials, realize their abilities, manage stresses, work productively and make contributions to others.

Think of mental health and well-being on a scale from -5 to +5. People usually focus on the scale's negative side, noticing serious problems and trying to heal back up to a 0. However, optimal mental health focuses on the positive side, as people move from a 0 toward a +5. Everyone is on a unique mental health continuum, learning and growing towards higher levels of connection to love, happiness and meaning.

The founders of The Brzycki Group—Henry G. Brzycki, Ph.D., and Elaine J. Brzycki, Ed.M.— invented the Integrated Self™ Model, the research-based, evidence-based backbone of the mental health and well-being toolkit.
