About Practical Innovations

Practical Compassion

 Neuroscience reveals what depletes healthcare providers isn't compassion, it's empathy. This evidence-based workshop explores how to use neuroscience to combat burnout. Participants learn to reframe "compassion fatigue," build self-compassion, and implement practical micro-practices for sustainable caring. The solution isn't caring less; it's caring differently.
