Compassion Circle
Resource Page
Compassion Circle: a trauma-informed learning programme.
The programme is designed to help teams and organisations embed healing-centred practices across their work.
Here you will find tools, resources and information to support the 8 group sessions, individual and team mentoring sessions.
In 2023/24 we worked with Bolton Public Health and the VCSE sector to create a toolkit called Trauma Informed Communities which has lots of useful resources we will draw on in this learning programme.
More Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’s) information from Bolton Council can be found here.
