You did not choose this work expecting it to be easy. Compassion fatigue, occupational stress, and burnout are not signs that you are doing it wrong — they are signs that you are human, doing extraordinarily demanding work without enough tools to sustain it.
This 2-hour live virtual training introduces Mindfulness-Based Stress Management (MBSM): a skills-focused, evidence-informed approach developed specifically to help professionals in high-demand fields actively manage occupational stress — not simply reduce it.
MBSM extends that foundation with a professional orientation: it is built on the premise that stress will continue to show up in your work — with your clients, your caseload, and your system. What changes is your relationship to it and your capacity to navigate it with skill, awareness, and intention.
Research on mindfulness training in healthcare and helping professions demonstrates improvements in occupational stress, emotional reactivity, compassion fatigue, and therapeutic presence. In this session, we bring that evidence to life.
You will learn the neuroscience behind stress and mindfulness, engage in facilitated practice, and leave with a practical management framework and curated resources you can use starting today — from home, your office, or wherever you join us on Zoom.
