The Short Course in Mindful Self-Compassion (SC-MSC) is tailored toward the use of mindfulness and self-compassion practices for adapting positively and constructively when faced with adversity, and is derived from the Mindful Self-Compassion (MSCTM) eight-week program, an empirically-supported course developed by psychologists Chris Germer and Kristin Neff.

The six-week series is a MSCTM-derived course aimed at building and enhancing skills to offer compassion to oneself and others, handle overwhelming emotions with greater ease, approach difficult situations with more calm and clearer thoughts, and reconnect with the values that help in finding purpose in work.

The course is rooted in the three components of Mindful Self-Compassion: mindful awareness, common humanity, and self-kindness.

Through these components, the course aims for participants to:
✓ Be able to handle overwhelming emotions with greater ease
✓ Approach difficult situations with calm, resolve, and self-motivation
✓ Reconnect with the values that help in finding purpose in work
✓ Learn inner resilience practices that can be used as stressful circumstances occur

Class recordings will be available for one week after each class for those who miss a session.
