Training offered by Réseau Compassion Network
Consider this an invitation to discover compassion in your work, your life, your community, and your heart.
When we are present and connected, we are best able to support and walk alongside the people we support. The pandemic has revealed the challenges within our systems, with high levels of burn out, resignations, and leaves of absence. Sometimes, it can be difficult to stay present when you work in health and social services organizations; there are many competing priorities and the work can be draining, both emotionally and mentally. We know it is only possible to do this work if you take care of yourself and we want to support you in that journey.
As sponsors, we want to create opportunities for you to learn to invite compassion into your life for yourself and others. Our offerings are rooted in traditional practices, evidence-based programs, and has sessions designed to meet emerging needs.
