Self-Compassion for Healthcare Communities Training

Self-Compassion Training for Healthcare Communities (SCHC) is a 6-hr evidence-based healthcare adaptation of Mindful Self-Compassion, the empirically supported program of Dr. Kristin Neff at UT Austin and Dr. Chris Germer at Harvard Medical School. 


This training aims to improve wellbeing and personal resilience in healthcare professionals by teaching mindful self-compassion skills to deal with distressing emotional situations as they occur at work and at home. 


As opposed to other self-care techniques, self-compassion practices can be used on the spot while at work with patients and colleagues.  As a participant of the program you can learn the following objectives:     


  • Be able to describe the key components of self-compassion and mindfulness and how they can be integrated into your role as a healthcare professional. 
  • Be able to explain the difference between empathy and compassion and utilize strategies to avoid emotional exhaustion. 
  • Be able to practice techniques to increase self-compassion at work and everyday life. 
  • Practice at least one skill from each session to care for yourself emotionally while caring for others who are experiencing difficulty.
