About the Program
What is Mindful Self-Compassion?
Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an evidence-based course developed by Christopher Germer and Kristin Neff designed to cultivate self-compassion, reduce stress, and increase well-being. MSC has been demonstrated to be an effective intervention to increase self-compassion, mindfulness, social connectedness, life satisfaction, well-being, happiness, and compassion for others (Germer & Neff, 2013). MSC is constructed from the premise that awareness and acknowledgment of one’s own suffering, rather than avoiding or disconnecting from it, acknowledges suffering as part of the collective human experience, understands alleviating suffering is part of self-care and kindness to oneself, and emphasizes the importance of treating oneself with the same compassion and loving-kindness as they would treat a friend or family member (Barnard & Curry, 2011; Germer & Neff, 2013; Neff, 2003). The multiple dimensions that construct MSC work together in harmony to strengthen and enhance self-regulatory resources, emotional regulation, resilience, and well-being.

Thank you for this opportunity to be in a community with other like-minded people and take on the challenge of being more mindful and taking better care of myself. As a healthcare provider, I have been overwhelmed by the burnout created by my work. This course has reset my path and allowed me the space to be kind and tend to myself.
