A Fierce Heart: Cultivating Compassion as a Capacity for Patient and Healthcare Professional Well-Being
​
​Tuesday, October 13th (10:30-11:30 a.m. PT)
 
The science and evidence are compelling – compassion has been shown to benefit patient health outcomes, alleviate clinician burnout, strengthen relationships, and improve organizational measures such as employee turnover, absenteeism, revenue, and costs. Aspects of compassion training have also been shown to decrease racial bias. While we know compassion is helpful, what we’re less familiar with is how to cultivate compassion so it becomes our default stance in every moment.
 
The capacity to accompany suffering and discomfort (my own and others) with strength and a caring heart has become all the more essential in the context of a pandemic and social justice movement. In this experiential workshop, we will explore the science of compassion and the difference between empathy (empathic distress) and compassion, and experience a taste of compassion training through contemplative exercises.
