Government entities, from federal agencies to local municipalities; law enforcement agencies and correctional institutions; and the full spectrum of social service agencies all benefit from the wide range of The Pacific Institute's services.

With so many differing, and sometimes competing, agencies working from different angles - yet committed to helping those at the margins of society - it helps to be speaking the same language.

The Pacific Institute's education provides that springboard for action. With Investment in Excellence® acting as a foundation for administration and staff, such programs as STEPS - A Guide to Employment® (for youth) and STEPS - A Guide to Self-Sufficiency®(for adults) offer life skills training to the chronically unemployed, welfare recipients and those suddenly thrown out of the workforce because of downsizing and the effects of sweeping global economic changes.

Law enforcement agencies successfully implement Command, Control & Choice™ into their officer training academies, Thought Patterns for High Performance™ for staff and non-badged personnel, as well as Investment in Excellence®

New for 2008 is Discovering the Power in Me™, a program focused on the suddenly disabled - those individuals, their families and caregivers, whose lives have been affected by sudden, permanent injury. The Institute's effective thinking skills education is targeted to move these individuals from recovery and rehabilitation to contribution and achievement.

The Pacific Institute's Social Solutions programs and processes are focused on one primary end result: Ensuring that every individual is able to look in the mirror and know that they've done something useful with their day - that they are valued, contributing members of society.
