Self-Compassion Training for Healthcare Communities (SCHC) is a 6-hour evidence-based healthcare adaptation of Mindful Self-Compassion, the empirically supported program of Dr. Kristin Neff at UT Austin and Dr. Chris Germer at Harvard Medical School. This brief training aims to improve wellbeing and personal resilience in healthcare professionals by teaching mindful self-compassion skills to deal with distressing emotional situations as they occur at work and at home.

In research conducted in 2019 the SCHC program was found to significantly decrease depression, stress, secondary traumatic stress, and burnout, and to increase self-compassion, mindfulness, compassion for others, and job satisfaction in healthcare professionals.

As opposed to other self-care techniques, self-compassion practices can be used on the spot while at work with patients and colleagues.  As a participant of the program, you can learn tools to use throughout the day to care for yourself while caring for others, be able to listen with compassion, handle difficult emotions with greater ease, and reconnect to the values that give your life and work meaning.
