Street Compassion - Using CI in Unconventional therapeutic Environments

Описание: Join Tamara and JP in this transformative workshop exploring how to apply Compassionate Inquiry in unconventional therapeutic environments—from homeless shelters to street outreach, and communities facing extreme poverty and addiction. Discover the power of "street compassion" and how trauma-informed presence creates safety through connection, not the absence of threat.

This workshop honors Gabor Maté's foundational work with marginalized populations and explores how CI practitioners can show up with presence, curiosity, and compassion in spaces where people face significant challenges—including homelessness, poverty, addiction, chronic illness, and multi-generational trauma.

Essential viewing for therapists, social workers, outreach workers, harm reduction specialists, and anyone working in community-based, non-clinical settings where trauma-informed care is desperately needed.
