Compassion-Based Resilience for Healthcare Professionals

Description

Healthcare professionals are exposed to others' suffering on a regular basis through the very nature of their work. Empathic distress can be experienced as a normal consequence of an empathic connection with those who are suffering. Compassion, rather than leading to fatigue and burnout, is a way of responding to others' suffering that can strengthen our fortitude and benevolence. Drawing upon research and various models of compassion, you will discover mindfulness and compassion-based practices that promote greater positive affect, connection, and resilience, even in the face of suffering. Through transformational meditative practices you will learn to activate your natural capacity for compassionate presence while strengthening your inner resources, ultimately improving the quality of care for yourself and others.
