HIH 300 - Sustainable Compassion Training

This course will provide evidence-based, actionable tools for educators and professional caregivers to prevent burnout and renew energy. The course will use a conceptual framework that integrates insights from developmental, clinical, and moral psychology along with contemporary neuroplasticity research and ancient contemplative practices. The course will be centered on the concept of caring relationships as the foundation for enhancing ethical sensitivity and sustaining high care for both the giver and the receiver. Students will learn how to cultivate a sense of inner safety and deep replenishment through the study and practice of three modes of care: receiving care from others, self-care, and extending care to others.
