  • 8/24 Webinar: Mindfulness for Compassion

    In honor of National Civility Month, join Deer Oaks EAP & Human Resources for the Mindfulness for Compassion Webinar.

    Tomorrow, Thursday, August 24th, 2023, 12pm - 1:00pm

    Compassion is a feeling that manifests itself when you understand another person’s suffering. It is more intense than empathy because compassion also entails the desire to alleviate, reduce and eliminate their suffering.

    Join this session to understand how cultivating compassion helps us to be happier, to accept that we aren’t perfect and to increase positive feelings like kindness, love, affection, etc.

    The session will help you reflect on how compassionate you are to yourself, understand what compassion is and how to develop it, and use mindfulness to increase compassion.
