SUMMARY:Self-Compassion Essentials\, with Kristin Neff June 27\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:A three-hour online workshop by Dr. Kristin Neff. \nSelf-compassion involves treating ourselves kindly\, like we would a good friend we cared about. Rather than continually judging and evaluating ourselves\, self-compassion involves generating kindness toward ourselves as imperfect humans\, and learning to be present with the inevitable struggles of life with greater strength and balance. It motivates us to make needed changes in our lives not because we’re worthless or inadequate\, but because we care about ourselves and want to lessen our suffering.   \nResearch shows that self-compassion is one of the most powerful sources of coping and resilience we have available to us\, enhancing both mental and physical health. It is also a skill we can learn and practice. \nThis workshop will provide an introduction to the basic concepts and research on self-compassion through lecture\, discussion\, and experiential exercises. You will gain practical tools to bring it into your daily life\, including how to support yourself in difficult moments; work with distressing emotions; and motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism.  \nThe workshop is relevant for the general public as well as to practicing mental health professionals. \nCE Credits are available for live attendance to this workshop.  See details below.

SUMMARY:Conversation with Mona Delahooke
DESCRIPTION:Mona Delahooke\, PhD\, is a bestselling author and clinical child psychologist who seeks to help families work with behavioral issues in children – neurotypical or not – through a compassionate\, neuroscience-informed approach. She is the author of Beyond Behaviors: Using Brain Science and Compassion to Understand and Solve Children’s Behavioral Challenges and Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful\, Resilient Kids\, a national bestseller.   She challenges conventional behavior-based models by advocating for relational safety—a paradigm shift rooted in the latest brain science. Her work is centered on translating complex research into practical\, heart-centered strategies for parents\, educators\, and therapists. Kristin found Mona’s work particularly helpful in raising her son Rowan\, who has autism. \n\nFollowing a life-threatening brain aneurysm\, Dr. Delahooke’s own recovery was guided by the very nervous-system-informed principles she has taught for decades. Please join Kristin for a conversation with Mona and her husband as they explore how self-compassion can help children and caregivers attune their nervous systems for greater connection and resilience\, and how self-compassion helped Mona heal herself.

SUMMARY:Self-Compassion for Work Stress and Burnout\, with Kristin Neff
DESCRIPTION:Our work – both our paid employment and work as unpaid caregivers – is an important source of fulfillment. But work can also involve high levels of stress.  When the stress exceeds our capacity to cope\, we may feel drained\, empty\, irritable\, or useless. We’re also likely to blame ourselves for feeling this way. In other words\, work stress often leads to burnout. \nFortunately\, research shows that self-compassion is a helpful antidote to burnout.  The caring stance of self-compassion helps us to create work-life balance\, be less overwhelmed by stress\, and encourage rather than blame ourselves when things are difficult.  \nThis workshop will use lecture\, discussion\, and experiential exercises to help you learn to be self-compassionate so you can reduce work stress and burnout. Simple tools will be provided to help you cope on the job\, so you can support yourself when you need it most. \nThe workshop is relevant for the general public as well as to practicing mental health professionals. \n CE credits are available\, see below for more information.
