Compassion Resilience for Parents and Caregivers

Compassion resilience is the ability to maintain emotional, mental, and physical well-being while compassionately supporting others through the challenges of caring for them. It involves maintaining empathy, strength, and hope in the face of adversity while taking steps to prevent compassion fatigue.

The Compassion Resilience series is designed to promote compassion resilience by providing resources and support to help caregivers maintain their well-being and compassion in the face of daily challenges. Participants focus on extending compassion to themselves first in order to mindfully extend it to those for whom they care. This group will offer guidance and support to help caregivers navigate the demands of their life and maintain empathy, strength, and hope. This series is inspired and based on the WISE Compassionate Resilience Toolkit.
