We have pooled much of this work into our own Compassionate Mind Training for Teachers and Pupils. Results of the teacher CPD are now widely published, showing many beneficial effects on psychological health, physiological health and work-life balance. I have been more accepted by the students in my class.”This, to me, is one of the real ‘value adds’ of a compassion-focused approach to mind training. School timetables are packed out and teachers struggle to set the time aside they need to focus on their own wellbeing, let alone on emotional skills training for their pupils like Compassionate Mind Training. More schools and associations are beginning to recognise the immense value that Compassionate Mind Training can bring and I will continue to argue the need for this.
