Self‐compassion for youth in small city centres: A school‐based pilot project

Abstract

Global estimates indicate that 10%-20% of young people have experienced mental health challenges and that three-quarters of all global adult mental illness has an onset before the age of 24 years

“…For example, Henson et al (2020) engaged in a CBPR process to define self-compassion as a helpful schoolbased intervention for female-identified youth with mental health concerns. Intervention effectiveness was then measured quantitatively with pre-and post-intervention assessments of well-being values and symptoms of depression and anxiety.…”

“…Mixed methods are helpful to study CBPR outcomes because the inclusion of qualitative data can provide contextual analyses that are salient to understanding outcomes found through quantitative data (Lucero et al, 2016).

Merhamet Eğitimi ve Eğitimde Merhamet

“…Söz konusu uygulama, beş ile sekiz yaş arası çocuklar için hazırlanan bir program olup sekiz-on haftalık bir grup müdahalesi şeklinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca 14-15 yaşlarındaki öğrencilere uygulanan öz-merhamet müdahalesi incelenmiş ve öz-merhamet programının kendine karşı merhametli olmayı sağladığı, zorluklarla yüzleşirken kendini kabul etme ve destekleme kapasitesini artırdığı belirtilmiştir (Henson, Ruglis, Sinacore ve Fitzpatrick, 2020). Bunun yanı sıra bireylerin toplum içinde çeşitli hizmetlerde görev alarak merhametli eylemler geliştirmeleri sağlanabilir.…”
