Center for Mindful Self-Compassion

Dr. Kristin Neff, along with her colleague Dr. Chris Germer, co-founded the nonprofit Center for Mindful Self-Compassion (CMSC) in 2015.  The organization provides online self-compassion training, including the full MSC program, advanced training on fierce self-compassion and shame, programs designed for healthcare professionals, teens, and therapists, as well as teacher training for these programs. CMSC also offers daily drop-in self-compassion meditation groups.

Although Dr. Neff is an active member of the CMSC board of directors, she is not involved in the day-to-day running of the organization.  However, she regularly teaches online workshops sponsored by CMSC, including: Introduction to MSC, Fierce Self-Compassion, Self-Compassion for Caregivers, and MSC Core Skills.
