Mindful Self-Compassion for Educators

ProD Day for SD#61 Victoria, BC

Teachers and staff are increasingly being asked to do more with less and to deal with very complex social situations in their classroom and school environment. And we are seeing increasing stress, burnout and compassion fatigue. It can all seem like too much at times. Some wonder if it is even possible to take care of yourself AND be there for your students, your colleagues, your community and your family?

New research in neurophysiology shows that Mindful Self-Compassion practices can help prevent stress, fatigue, and burnout on the front line. This workshop will introduce the research and practice that have been show to make all the difference. You will take away practices you can start using immediately with yourself and your students.

Research suggests that mindfulness interventions, particularly those with an added lovingkindness component, have the potential to increase self-compassion among health professionals. Mindful Self-Compassion is an evidence-based skills training program developed by Neff (Texas) and Germer (Harvard) and shown to have a strong association with positive emotions (overall wellbeing, better relationships, happiness) and with less negative emotions (anxiety, depression, anger).

Lateral Kindness, Grace and Sustainable Compassion

6th International Critical Dietetics Conference Grenada, Spain

In our work as health care practitioners, we have the privilege of hearing people’s stories and witnessing their journey through difficult times with health and healing. To truly be present to hear and deeply honour others, to share our own story from a professional position that maintains our credibility yet locates us as simply another human being, requires many skills and clarity of intention. We need to be grounded in kindness, have open hearts, understand common humanity and have tools to manage our own reactions and triggers.

Introduction to Mindful Self-Compassion

Centre for Compassion Inspired Health 678 Franklyn Street, Nanaimo, BC, Canada

Self-compassion is a courageous mental attitude that stands up to harm—the harm that we inflict on ourselves every day by overworking, overeating, overanalyzing, and overreacting. 

It helps us recognize when we’re under stress
face what’s happening in our lives (mindfulness) 
and take a kinder approach to life’s challenges.

Join us for an experiential workshop that will teach you self-compassion skills you can begin to use immediately in your life.
“A moment of self-compassion can change your entire day. A string of such moments can change the course of your life.” Dr. C. Germer
