About this Event
CCFW does not provide mental health or substance use treatment or services, nor do our mindfulness and compassion-based courses substitute for diagnosis or treatment for mental health or substance use problems such as depression, anxiety, or addiction. Find a list of mental health resources on CCFW’s resource page.
Join us to learn about Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), an empirically-supported 8-week course that combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion to enhance one’s capacity for emotional wellbeing. No experience necessary! MSC practices strengthen our ability to meet life’s difficulties with kindness, care, and wisdom, allowing us to relate wholeheartedly to others and be more authentically ourselves. Research shows that self-compassion is strongly associated with reduced anxiety, depression, and stress; maintenance of healthy habits such as diet and exercise; and more satisfying personal relationships.
