The 3 components of the CiB Program (Self Study, Team Trainings, and Resource Center) can be combined in various ways to create a learning experience that works best for your organization.

The CiB Program is flexible!

There are 3 suggested pathways:

Low, Medium, and High Structure. 

You choose the pathway that suits your group’s needs and capacity.

For example, if you do not have the desire or capacity to offer in-person trainings or group discussions during work hours, you can offer CiB to your staff as an additional, optional wellbeing benefit. They can log in and use the Self Study and Resource Center if and when they like. 

On the other hand, if you have the capacity to offer training time during the work day, you might utilize CiB materials in group discussions, as team trainings, and other activities on the clock. Your group can meet on a regular basis throughout the year to learn together. 

You don't have to decide right away. You can get started with a low structure approach, then build in more group activities during the year, if you'd like!

No, this is an educational program. CiB provides information and resources to better understand and cope with stressors, but it is not a substitute for professional mental health help.

However, the Self Study and Resource Center both address how and when to seek professional mental health help.

After completing your purchase and program agreement, your next step is to designate a “Point Person(s)."

This person(s) will coordinate the program with the rest of your group.

After signing the program agreement, your designated Point Person(s) will be enrolled in the platform and receive clear instructions on how to proceed.

They will have access to planning materials in the "Start Here" section on the CiB platform. This will help them organize the rollout and enroll the rest of your team members. 

After your Point Person(s) is enrolled and introduced CiB to your group, it's time to enroll the rest of your group. 

On or near a date of your choosing, individuals will receive an email with their own log-in to the platform. Note: Log-in sharing is not permitted. 

The program is hosted on the Kajabi platform.

There is a free app available so staff can access CiB on their phones!

Internet access is required. Some resources can be downloaded and accessed offline. 

Your group will have access to The CiB Program for one year.

Your access term begins on the first date on which your Point Person or any individual user accesses or otherwise uses any portion of the Program Content and terminates one year later.

At the end of your access term you will have the option to renew for another year. 

Limited analytics documenting progress are provided upon request for the Self Study and the Resource Center. The progress report includes: 

• The first and last date staff logged-in to the Self Study and Resource Center
• How many times they have logged-in to each 
• How many lessons they completed in each (if they clicked "mark as complete")
• If they have earned a certificate of completion (available for the Self Study).

In other words, you can get an overall sense of how engaged individuals are with the self-guided portions of the program (Self Study and Resource Center).

You may choose to require staff to share their Self Study Certificate of Completion with you to document engagement. 

Yes, the Self Study Course offers CEUs and provides a Certificate of Completion after passing the final quiz.

• Jessica Dolce, founder of Compassion in Balance, is an approved provider of content for CAWA. Every hour of training equals 1 CE towards CAWA Recertification.
• The Self Study course has been approved for 6 hours of continuing professional education by the National Animal Control Association (NACA).
• Looking for veterinary CEUs? Please contact your licensing board for guidance.

YES AND...it depends on your budget, capacity, and goals!

CiB is designed to offer year-round support for the whole organization. You are encouraged to enroll everyone in your group; this gives individuals (who may not opt-in initially) the option to engage with the content if and when they most need it.

If that's not possible, you can start by enrolling a smaller group initially.

However, if you plan to use these materials with everyone in your organization or anticipate enrolling new hires or an additional cohort at a later date, you are strongly encouraged to purchase an enrollment package that is large enough to accommodate additional individual licenses for everyone. Log-in sharing is not permitted and violates the program contract. 

If instead you choose to purchase a smaller package, you may purchase a larger package at a later date. This will move your group‘s enrollment package into the next pricing tier. You will be charged the cost of the higher tier package, minus the cost of the package you purchased originally.

This additional purchase does not extend your access term. The additional cost increases your enrollment licenses for the remainder of your current access term.

Enrollment packages come in 4 tiers:

Small 1-20

Medium 21-50

Large 51-100

Extra Large 101-200

If your group has more than 200 ppl, please contact us for a quote: [email protected]  

The CiB Program is designed to build self-care, peer-care, and we-care skills in order to reduce compassion fatigue and increase compassion resilience. 

This is achieved through: 

1. Increased Awareness and Competence

2. Increased Healthy Coping Skills

3. Increased Supportive Connections

The CiB Program is currently a 100% on-demand platform, however there will be occasional live calls and classes with Jessica and guest teachers beginning in late 2024. 

If your organization would like to schedule a private 90 min webinar or half day online workshop with Jessica, you are encouraged to complete this form.
