Communities of Practice Led by Greater Good
Practicing Self-Compassion
What would happen if you chose to consistently, as Brené Brown suggests, “Talk to yourself as you would someone you love?” Self-compassion, or extending kindness and compassion to ourselves, has been shown to protect educators from burnout and promote well-being.
Join us for a free CalHOPE Community of Practice (CoP), where you’ll explore self-compassion and connect with fellow educators in a supportive, reflective space.
In this 90-minute session, you’ll:
Recognize the ways self-criticism shows up in your teaching practice and how it impacts your well-being.
Learn practical strategies to cultivate self-compassion, even in challenging moments and in the uncertain times we face as educators.
Experience guided practices to help shift your inner dialogue from harsh to supportive.
Leave with tools to reduce stress, prevent burnout, and create a more sustainable, fulfilling teaching experience.

More Opportunities for Your Well-Being
This workshop is the first in a three-part series, Building Educator Resilience in Uncertain Times: A CalHOPE Community of Practice. Educators today face immense challenges—balancing student needs, navigating systemic pressures, and caring for their own well-being. In these virtual sessions with Salina Espinosa-Setchko from the Greater Good Science Center, participants will explore the science of well-being and cultivate the inner strength to meet these demands with compassion, courage, and hope, all within a supportive community of educators across the state.
