Program Overview

Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) is an eight-week (16 hour) curriculum that was developed by research psychologists and clinical psychologists at the Stanford University Medical School through their Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE). These scholars and scientists translated training protocols and concepts from ancient wisdom traditions into a secular framework, which all persons can use, regardless of religious and/or spiritual affiliations. CCT introduces students to psychological concepts and practices that strengthen and expand a person's innate capacities for compassion and related pro-social dispositions, such as, kindness, forgiveness, gratitude and generosity. Instructors of CCT must complete a rigorous training and certification program.
