Training Compassion for Healthcare Providers

Compassion is the warm-hearted concern that unfolds when we witness the struggles of others and feel motivated to relieve them. Research suggests that compassion is innate and any of us can strengthen this capacity through deliberate practice, with benefits for self, for others, and for society.This ground-breaking guide offers a research-based, comprehensive approach to training compassion. While compassion is recognized as fundamental to offering quality healthcare, the field is experiencing a crisis of compassion along with a related epidemic of burnout and attrition. Designed to accompany a CBCT course, the guide supports healthcare providers by offering tools to connect more meaningfully with patients and colleagues, strengthen personal resilience, and cultivate a greater sense of efficacy in the face of suffering.All CBCT courses are led by certified CBCT teachers.
