John Wick

John Wick is the Chief Operating Officer at Wellspring Retreat & Resource Center, a residential mental health facility specializing in the treatment of cult abuse victims. For more than 15 years, he served on the Cult Information Service of Central Ohio board and, for about 10 years, facilitated a support group for cult abuse victims. He has also worked with other organizations that reach out to those who have been hurt by the cults. He has spoken out about the cult problem in various media outlets, including the Columbus TV Affiliates of ABC, CBS & NBC, AP, and the Columbus Dispatch Newspaper. Additionally, Wick has made presentations throughout the country. Wick’s interest in the cult problem stems from his experience in an abusive a Bible based group in the early 1980s.
