Self-Compassion for Healthcare Communities June 22, 2023 with Natalie Bell & Adrienne Gaudet

June 22, 2023 - July 27, 2023

Self-Compassion Training for Healthcare Communities (SCHC) is a 6-wk adaptation of the evidence based Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program created by Kristin Neff, PhD and Chris Germer, PhD. Research on the SCHC program conducted in 2019 at Dell Children's hospital in Austin, TX revealed significant increases in self-compassion, mindfulness, compassion for others and compassion satisfaction, and decreases in depression, stress, secondary traumatic stress and burnout in healthcare professionals. 

This abbreviated MSC program was specifically designed for the general healthcare public to address the unique time constraints, workplace culture, and stressors of healthcare professionals. 

There has been considerable interest in the release of this program and it’s finally available through CMSC's live online training. 

This course meets on Thursdays starting June 22 - July 27, 4:00-5:00 pm Pacific Time with with Natalie Bell & Adrienne Gaudet.
