Overview

This program teaches a balance of evidence-based theory and mindfulness-based compassion practices that will offer you different experiences and insights. Over the 6-week program, participants will explore how mindfulness-based compassion practices can support individual and collective understanding of what compassion looks like, sounds like and feels like for yourself and for others. The course is designed to support health professionals equally in their day-to-day life, both in their professional and personal well-being

Research suggests health professionals can increase wellbeing when practicing self-compassion, and therefore increase capacity to provide optimal patient care. A recent evaluation by Curtin University also found that participation in this program could decrease levels of anxiety, compassion fatigue and emotional exhaustion. 1

“Protecting ourselves and maintaining our well-being and compassion has never been more important, not only for ourselves and our families, but also for our patients and our communities. As ... clinicians, we need to lead by example and demonstrate our understanding of the situation.” 2

Commitment to Participate

As a participant we ask that you attend all of the workshops, undertake 15 mins of home practice daily and have a quiet space with a good internet connection. This is a highly interactive program and requires your complete presence during the sessions.

Previous participants have said:

“It was amazing. I feel like a changed person since doing this. Much more relaxed at work and able to give more to others by also looking after myself more”

“I would highly recommend this program to any health professional interested in committing some time to developing a little more compassion for themselves, important others & the wider community.”
