Main description:

* Each module contains psychoeducational materials and multiple experiential activities aimed to illuminate core CFT principles
* Students engaged with CFT were able to lower their fears of giving and receiving compassion, engage their suffering more adaptively, and act in more compassionate ways with themselves and others. In addition, they were able to lower their shame and self-criticism and engage in self-reassuring behaviors
* Developed in conjunction with Paul Gilbert, founder of CFT and bestselling Routledge author
