Compassion is known to benefit the patient but research now shows that compassion is a positive state of mind, increasing the wellbeing of the giver and protecting against burnout. Although well intentioned, empathy can accidentally turn into empathic distress for the worker. Understanding the difference between compassion and empathy is essential for healthcare worker resilience.
This 4 week online self paced course covers approximately 3 hours of content per week including a live Q & A Event with the course facilitators on Wednesday 29th June 6pm AEST.
In this course, designed by Dr Debbie Ling, Professor Craig Hassed and Dr Richard Chambers from Monash University, you will learn strategies to enhance compassion, avoid empathic distress, improve your own wellbeing and create more caring and compassionate workplaces.
Healthcare professionals and anyone working in community and social service roles.
