Abstract
ABSTRACT While self-compassion has enjoyed a long and well-regarded history within the discipline of psychology, its presence within social work remains largely unexplored and poorly understood. This article outlines the development, recruitment, and implementation of a Mindful Self-Compassion group which took place during the COVID-19 pandemic and was co-facilitated by the first and second authors, two university professors (one a social worker and the other a registered dietitian), both recently trained from the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion as teachers in mindful self-compassion. The program was originally developed by Drs. Germer and Neff, key researchers on self-compassion. Drawing from historical and contemporary group work research, reflections on the group stages, member roles, and co-facilitation components are offered, particularly within the context of an online group. Observations on the group’s strengths and challenges are considered as well as suggestions for future offerings of the group.
