In 1975 Dr. Jampolsky founded the Center for Attitudinal Healing in Tiburon, CA with free services to help children facing life-threatening illnesses and death. It was the interactions inside a small waterfront building on Main St. in Tiburon that set him on a course to helping countless children and adults worldwide through the pioneering of Peer Support Groups and The Twelve Principles of Attitudinal Healing.

In 1981, he met his wife Diane Cirincione-Jampolsky, Ph.D. who worked side by side with him for 40 years and continues to this day as the Executive Director of Attitudinal Healing International, a network of independent Centers in 37 countries on six continents. The original Center moved to Sausalito in 1990 and in 2010, when the Sausalito School District needed to reclaim their space, the Center’s Groups moved into the Marin County community where they exist until this day. Over the years Attitudinal Healing has been adapted and innovated into the fields of mental and physical health, education, community, business, hospitals, prisons, and more.

Dr. Jampolsky received recognition when he was invited by Phil Donahue to appear on his talk show with children from the Center in 1979 which resulted in the Peabody Award for its’ groundbreaking subject matter.

They both spearheaded a campaign in 1986 to lessen the stigma of people with AIDS and over the next 10 years, travelled to 30 countries to educate and address the psycho-social aspects of the pandemic. He worked with his wife to inspire Jack Keeler, a cartoonist and graphic artist, to create a poster of a child with open arms that read “I Have AIDS, Please Hug Me, I Can’t Make You Sick.” This award winning image was first distributed by the World Health Organization to 142 countries in their AIDS Education Campaign in 1987 and later adopted as their most effective global symbol for AIDS in 2005.

Over the last four decades, Dr. Jampolsky received 20 international awards, most notably the American Medical Association’s “Excellence in Medicine_Pride of the Profession Award” as well as along with Cirincione, “The Ellis Island Medals of Honor.”
