SUMMARY:Day-Long Self-Compassion Training for Peers in Crisis Settings
DESCRIPTION:Self-Compassion is the practice of befriending ourselves just the way we are. It gives us strategies to live fully through both the joys and the sorrows of our lives. It reminds us that all human beings struggle\, and we are not alone.
