Self-Compassion for Healthcare Communities September 19, 2023 with Jonathan Walker
September 19, 2023 - October 24, 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 Tuesdays starting September 19 - October 24, 2023 1:30 - 2:30 PM Pacific Time with Jonathan Walker.

Meet Your Teachers - Jonathan Walker
Jonathan Walker
Certified MSC Teacher
Jonathan Walker, M.D. is a retired physician on the clinical faculty at Indiana University School of Medicine. He found that cultivating mindfulness and self-compassion were transformative in his clinical practice, and he redirected his career to be able to teach these skills. He is a trained teacher for Mindful Self-Compassion and has done teacher training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction through University of California, San Diego. He has also done the Training in Mindfulness Facilitation program at UCLA and is certified through the International Mindfulness Teachers Association and also through UC Berkeley’s Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program. His main qualification, however, is that he spent most of his life becoming familiar with the consequences of being neither mindful nor self-compassionate and is therefore very much motivated to help others avoid such a fate!

This is required even as we are a registered non-profit. What does this mean for you? It means that when you purchase a course with CMSC in some states or provinces ( U.S. & Canada), the sales tax will be automatically calculated and collected at the time of checkout.

What are the parameters of participation?
Our programs are designed to teach participants the tools needed to develop and cultivate a mindfulness and self-compassion practice. It is not a substitute for mental health care, personal therapy or medical treatment. Personal safety and emotional wellbeing are the foundation of self-compassion training and you are primarily responsible for your own safety. Teachers and facilitators are not expected or able to provide medical and/or psychological care. Course experiences may bring up challenging memories or feelings. If you have a history with a serious mental health condition or other concerns you think may impact your ability to take this course, please contact CMSC or your healthcare professional to determine if this course is right for you. Your personal contact information may be used in the event the teacher or facilitator reasonably determines a need to call emergency services on your behalf.
