Health
Compassion-Based Professional, Leadership, and Organizational Development for the Health Sector
Why Compassion, Why Now?
In this time of increasing levels of burnout in health, and in recognition of the essential need for social justice in all areas of society, we more than ever need the skills to engage in inner inquiry and cultivate sustainable inner resources.
In this context, the skills to deal with stress, calm the nervous system, and process emotions such as anxiety, fear, anger, and grief while cultivating strength and prosocial qualities such as self-awareness, empathy, and compassion are all the more important. This inner work is not only necessary for self and collective care, but also to co-create more equitable and sustainable health systems.
As global experts in compassion-based interventions, our goal is to serve those who serve us.

I appreciated how the facilitators cultivated a sense of togetherness, even when attendance varied, and fostered a safe place to reflect (openly and privately) with a real focus on the humanity of ourselves and others.
ClinicianVA Palo Alto Health Care System
I believe this course is so valuable for healthcare workers... We have detail-oriented careers, and high stress… so learning tools to help overcome these obstacles are really beneficial for everyday life/work balance.

I found this program to be a helpful reminder of things I used to know, want to know and should know to navigate the emotions of a difficult year.
Greg Stone, CEOPeach Tree Health
I recommend the course to anyone working in the healthcare field, especially during the pandemic. The facilitator creates a safe space for professionals who have experienced burnout, stress, anxiety and other emotions and we were able to share our experiences without judgment. I've acquired skills that will help me grow professionally and that will translate well into my personal life.
Blanca Gutierrez, Program ManagerCommunity Clinic Consortium
I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to participate in Caring from the Inside Out! I gained some really effective tools to help me identify and manage my emotions, strengthen resilience, set boundaries, and increase job satisfaction. It was also just a very therapeutic and cathartic series! I felt better about myself, my work, and my life after each session. 10/10 would highly recommend.
Jess Reiten, Health Services TrainerLos Angeles LGBT Center
"I’ve been doing this kind of training and practice for years, and this was the best. My favorite. No baloney."
Mark Ishaug, CEOThresholds
“As a registered nurse for over 30 years, I have personally experienced “empathy fatigue”. Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) has given me the ability to stay present with the suffering that I encounter on a daily basis without being overwhelmed by it.”
Karen MottRegistered Nurse and Certified CCT Instructor
"I’ve been participating in a lot of trauma, resilience, and compassion seminars lately, but this particular one really did help me grasp concepts about self-compassion that I’ve struggled with for years."
