Science

Picture
Compassionate California partners with major university research projects in the state, such as Stanford University's CCARE (Center for Compassion and Altruism Research & Education), along with the Charter for Compassion International.

Compassion is a multidimensional construct that reflects an awareness of suffering, an empathetic reaction, followed by action to reduce that suffering.

Research through the Charter is designed to find its way into the hands of those who need it. This could be the executive struggling to understand why higher financial outcomes are being met, matched by their level of stress, anxiety and self-criticism or a population struggling to justify their feelings of concern/care though it may run counter to perceived self interest.

As the Charter has been affirmed by well over 100,000 people, with initiatives in more than 200 cities are and the country of Botswana, we have the opportunity to facilitate work and conduct research with individuals, groups, firms and larger organizations on this critical topic which, in fact, impacts human survival.

A Call to Collaborate

Both basic and applied research is a part of this effort, along with Compassionate California and the Charter. We invite you and your related organizations and communities to participate with us. 

This is a call to all potential collaborators and researchers, across all disciplines, to share and construct a new collaboratory, an opportunity to collaborate for impactful change, and to be recognized for the deep care that brought them to their efforts.

We are developing compassion-based interventions that aim to address burnout, compassion fatigue, stress, anxiety and depression. All of these conditions fundamentally impact productivity at work and school, contribute to a lack of psychological well-being, increase the number of workers compensation claims, increase healthcare costs, increase litigation, decrease customer satisfaction among other important business, community, mental health and societal outcomes. 

You can share in the reasearch and applications opportunities, led by Dr. Daniel E. Martin with California State University, East Bay and Stanford's CCARE.  Check out his Compassion Training programs for individuals, organizations and commnities at CompassionST.com.  In the video below is a brief summary of the work presented by Dr. Daniel Martin in San Francisco at the Science of Compassion Conference during the Compassion Week 2015 events.
