Building a Healthy Workplace Culture: Self-Compassion

Staff at human and social services organizations are facing stress, change, and conflict on multiple levels. Vicarious trauma and the socio-political climate are contributing to staff feeling drained and disengaged.

This six-part webinar series will equip staff and leaders at all levels with foundational mindsets, knowledge, and skills to help themselves and their colleagues prioritize well-being at work, manage through uncertainty, and handle conflict with compassion. Through presentations, self-reflection, and interactive discussions, participants will learn about core mindsets and strategies rooted in neuroscience that can help them build a healing-centered organizational culture.

Each session will offer key concepts and practical application tools for participants to apply to their daily work and interactions with colleagues.
