Most of us are quite practiced at being kind to others, especially in caregiver roles. Whether we have a high-needs child, an elderly parent, an ill partner, or are a professional caregiver such as a doctor, nurse, therapist, or teacher, we know to give support and comfort to the people who need us. But how many of us offer that same level of compassion to ourselves?
If our caring just goes one way – outward but not inward – we will eventually become drained and depleted. Self-compassion is crucial for caregivers because it allows us to resource ourselves so that we can continue our good work in the world.
This workshop will present theory and research on the key role that self-compassion plays for caregivers. A variety of practices will be taught that can help you maintain equilibrium in difficult caregiving situations. You will also explore how to meet your needs in a balanced and fulfilling manner.
The workshop is relevant for the general public as well as professional caregivers.

Personal safety and emotional wellbeing are the foundation of self-compassion training, and you are 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 mental health condition or other concerns you think may impact your ability to take this course, please contact us 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.
