The Schwartz Center is committed to supporting healthcare professionals with additional resources on caring for their patients, themselves and their teams during challenging times. Please find mental health and wellness resources here.
Compassion Cultivation Training is an 8-week training course developed at Stanford University Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) by principal author and Compassion Institute (CI) Co-Founder Thupten Jinpa, PhD, with contributions from CI’s Founding Faculty. The course integrates evidence-based meditation techniques, interactive discussions, and lectures. Attendees will use real-world exercises to put learning into practice, and will draw insights and techniques from psychology, neuroscience, and contemplative practice.
Research has shown that CCT can lead to support for your health, happiness and well-being, reduction of stress, depression, and anxiety along with improvements in relating to others and the world.
The Schwartz Center offers CCT exclusively for healthcare workers, creating a unique opportunity for participants to learn alongside colleagues who understand the demands and complexities of healthcare work. This specialized cohort approach allows for rich discussions of shared experiences, and the development of practical compassion skills that will ultimately benefit both providers and patients.
16 hours of continuing education credits will be available for eligible participants who attend all eight sessions of their cohort.
