Compassion Focused Approaches

In the short video below, Petra from the LEHSS team gives a short introduction to compassion and how taking a compassion-focused approach can help us understand the emotions and well-being of both ourselves and other people.

We talk about compassion-focused approaches in a number of our training sessions, including communicating with children in distress, supporting staff wellbeing, and supporting children who may struggle with attendance or exam stress.

If you find this introduction to compassion-focused approaches interesting and useful, please go to our training events site to book a place for a session for yourself and your colleagues.
