Taking place in Dundas on Wednesday nights from 6-9 pm, September 16-November 4, plus a half-day retreat on Sunday, October 18. This is the 8-week course created by Dr. Kristin Neff and Dr. Chris Germer. Taught by Natalie Sobel, MSW, RSW, Trained Teacher of MSC, and Julie Foster, MSW, RSW. This program uses guided meditations and practices, small and large group discussions, didactic teaching, and home practices. It is research-supported. Increases in self-compassion are linked to many benefits included increased resilience, less stress/anxiety/depression, and much more! Cost is $450 for the 28 hour program. If you have extended health benefits for Registered Social Workers, it will probably cover the cost of the program. For more info or to register before September 9, email natalie.msc@bell.net
