We know that elections can be a stressful time for anyone involved or invested in politics. But this year will be all-together different. It looks set to be the most toxic and abuse-ridden to date.

That’s why the Compassion Academy has developed a resilience workshop specially designed for anyone working in the political space for the 2024 election year. Compassion training has been scientifically shown to improve resilience and reduce reactivity and stress.

The Academy, Compassion in Politics’ training arm, delivers a proven, practical, and powerful set of tools enabling your colleagues and yourself to perform at the top of your game when it has never been needed more.

Through this workshop, you will learn practical tools to:

• Build resilience 
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Stay aligned to your values
• Detoxify the political space around you
• Lead a positive and compassionate campaign 

Our half day workshop will introduce you to a range of powerful techniques specially designed to safeguard your wellbeing during the upcoming general election campaign and become an agent for positive, culture change in our politics. 

This election is different.

The debate feels more divisive than ever before. In what could be a difficult, fraught election season, it is imperative you have the tools you need to look after yourself and those around you.

Stress impacts negatively on our performance both cognitively and physically. It can lead to burn-out and inhibit our ability to function when we most need to be at the top of our game.

But we also see an opportunity.

The public are at their wits end. They are tired of the bickering and backstabbing. They want to see politicians behave with dignity, delivering for the country. We need changemakers, working in politics who can lead that change.

We are here to help you do that.
