Compassion in Therapy Summit Mission
The Awake Network and The Center for Mindful Self Compassion have partnered to create the Compassion in Therapy Summit, a 5-day FREE online event, put together with 20+ leading experts in the fields of mindfulness and compassion-based therapies, neuroscience, and compassion training.
Our mission is to create a community platform of mental health professionals exploring mindfulness, self-compassion, and compassion practices as key ingredients of psychological and social wellbeing.
This event will share the latest research and best practices for introducing and integrating mindfulness, self-compassion, and compassion into your therapy practice, for you and your clients.
