Work can be deeply meaningful, but prolonged stress can leave people feeling depleted, overwhelmed, and self-critical. In this live online workshop, Kristin Neff, a leading researcher in self-compassion, introduces evidence-based practices that help counter burnout and chronic work stress.
Through a mix of teaching, reflection, and experiential exercises, participants will explore how self-compassion supports emotional regulation, work-life balance, and sustainable engagement. The workshop offers simple, practical tools for responding to stress on the job and cultivating both tender and fierce self-compassion in demanding contexts. The session is open to the general public and is also relevant for mental health professionals seeking continuing education credits.
Format: Live online via Zoom (recording available for 60 days)
