Self-Compassion Training for Healthcare Communities (SCHC) is a 6-week, evidence-based, adaptation of the Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) programme. MSC is the empirically supported program of Dr. Kristin Neff (UT Austin) and Dr. Chris Germer (Harvard Medical School).
This abbreviated MSC training programme was specifically designed for healthcare professionals and is very relevant to all Caregivers. It is therefore something we are delighted to offer to our Nutrition and Health Coaches as part of their studies.
This training aims to improve wellbeing and personal resilience in professionals in the caring professions. It aims to do this by teaching mindful self-compassion skills to deal with distressing emotional situations as they occur at work and at home. Here at IINH we teach the programme in 6 x 90-minute weekly sessions as part of the Nutrition and Health Coaching course.
Burgeoning research is showing that self-compassion skills can be of particular benefit to people in caregiving professions, allowing them to experience greater satisfaction in their caregiving roles, less stress, and more emotional resilience.
In research published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, Neff.Knox.2020, the SCHC program was found to significantly:
As opposed to other self-care techniques, self-compassion practices can be used on the spot at work with clients or colleagues or at home. These skills, although requiring an intentional daily effort to integrate, do not require extra time or formal meditation practice.
Participants of the programme will learn skills and tools to use throughout the day to:
We have included this abbreviated version of the MSC programme in the Coaching programme to give our students the opportunity to learn some of these vital skills.
This programme will be facilitated by Julia Sweetman, Certified MSC teacher, Nutritional Therapist and Programme Director for our Nutritional Therapy course.

The assessment is based on a variety of mainly practical assignments and case studies. There is no written exam.
