Leading provider of compassion training for professions serving the public under challenging circumstances (ex. health care, law enforcement, corrections, educators, social services). Leveraging intellectual property and extensive faculty resources from Stanford University School of Medicine where the course was developed in 2009, Compassion Institute's global network of compassion educators improve human health, happiness, and interpersonal relationships in communities challenged by stress, conflict, and/or violence.
The Compassion Institute's ("CI") mission is to become a global advocate and provider of compassion education services. CI's science-based programs, including CCT have over 15,000 alumni and support a growing network of over 200 trained compassion educators across the globe. CI programs promote public awareness by demonstrating the value of active compassion practice to individual human happiness as well as societal and community well-being. CI recognizes an urgent need to help people in professions particularly vulnerable to empathy "burnout" (ex: healthcare workers, K-12 educators, law enforcement, social services, community action, palliative care, veterans support) either as individuals or through their respective organizations. By highlighting the societal and personal benefits of compassionate mindsets and behavior and by furthering the quality and public availability of proven personal compassion cultivation training globally, CI serves the well-being of all humanity.
