Workplace Compassion Programs
NEW OFFERING! Compassion-Centered Resilience Training™
A research-backed compassion training designed for emotionally demanding workplaces.
Compassion-Centered Resilience Training™ (CCRT™) helps professionals strengthen self-compassion, navigate stress more skillfully, and build more supportive team cultures without adding more pressure, productivity hacks, or emotional exhaustion.
Originally developed for an end-of-life HIV research team at UC San Diego, Compassion-Centered Resilience Training™ (CCRT™) is now supported by peer-reviewed published research in the Journal of Palliative Medicine. The study found statistically significant improvements in:
- self-compassion
- workplace joy
- supportive work environment
Why This Training Matters
Many professionals are carrying an enormous emotional load.
Healthcare workers. Educators. Leaders. Researchers. Caregivers.
People are being asked to continue showing up for others while navigating chronic stress, emotional fatigue, uncertainty, and burnout.
CCRT™ was created to offer practical, evidence-informed support that helps people stay connected to themselves, each other, and the meaning behind their work.
This training is not about becoming perfect, endlessly positive, or “doing more.”
It’s about learning sustainable ways to:
- respond to stress with greater self-compassion
- remain grounded during difficult moments
- strengthen team connection and trust
- reduce emotional overwhelm
- cultivate a healthier workplace culture
What Participants Learn

- Mindfulness
- Self-compassion
- Common humanity
- Active compassion
The training includes:
- guided practices
- practical reflection exercises
- small-group discussion
- real-world application tools
- optional accountability support between sessions
Everything is designed to feel accessible, practical, and human.
Program Structure
- 4-week program
- 90-minute sessions
- Small cohort model
- Virtual or in-person options available
Research-Informed. Human-Centered.
What makes CCRT™ unique is the combination of evidence-based compassion practices and real-world application.
Participants often report:
- feeling less alone in their stress
- responding to themselves with more kindness
- communicating more openly with colleagues
- reconnecting with purpose in their work
As one participant shared:
“This training took our team to the next level.”

Our highly-experienced Stanford-trained compassion facilitators use engaging and fun approaches for cultivating compassion within your team.
Whether your organization works with underserved populations, in healthcare, or in a highly-demanding corporate sector, developing a culture of compassion can:
• lessen burnout
• help team members skillfully manage stress
• build psychological safety on teams
• foster trust
• increase employee loyalty
• nurture more connected and collaborate teams
• benefit the bottom line
Compassion Reduces Burnout.
Employee burnout has been an epidemic. It leads to decreased engagement, higher turnover rates, and toxic work environments. In May 2019, the World Health Organization classified burnout as an "occupational phenomenon." And this is before COVID-19, when many industries faced even higher levels of burnout.
Compassion Increases Psychological Safety.
Do your team members feel afraid to share ideas or speak up? Do they worry about making mistakes? Do they feel like they don't belong? If so, they may cover up blunders or blame fellow team members instead of learning from them. The cost of low psychological safety on a team leads to high turnover, under-performance, and even a fear of going to work.
When team members trust one another and feel comfortable enough to take risks and make their opinions known, they are more creative, collaborate, and high-performing. Plus they feel fulfilled and enjoy being at work. Teams with high levels of psychological safety have increased levels of engagement, motivation, and performance.
