The Compassion in Balance Program: Team Trainings
The Resilient Team Trainings Overview
The CiB program is made up of 3 components: Self Study Course, Team Trainings, and Resource Center.
All 3 components are included in the CiB Program and can be combined in various ways to create a learning experience that works best for your organization.
A closer look at the Team Trainings:
When it comes to wellbeing and performance, who we work with and how we work together matters.
Research has shown social support at work (caring, collaborative coworkers and supervisor) is the most significant factor associated with higher scores of compassion satisfaction.
These six structured team trainings are designed to help coworkers build new resilience skills together.
Facilitated by someone within your organization, each training includes short videos, discussion prompts, worksheets, and action steps.
Together coworkers will learn how to:
- Reduce reactivity with self-regulation
- Shift their outlook towards realistic optimism
- Use zone of control thinking to cope with difficult emotions
- Express appreciation and gratitude
- Communicate constructively
- Create a values-based team culture and more!

"Our Animal Control staff have really enjoyed the material so far. It’s been challenging but relevant and important.
One employee said, 'This is actually good because you’re telling me helpful things and you’re not telling me to take a bubble bath.'
I am calling this a HUGE success. Thank you!"
