Recognizing Leaders in Care and Compassion
Our Lecture on Compassion promotes the importance of compassion and caring in healthy development by showcasing the findings and perspectives of outstanding researchers and practitioners in the areas of awareness, compassion and empathy.
The annual event, which began in 2016, is made possible by a generous endowment from Mark Greenberg, former Center Director and holder of the Edna Peterson Bennett Endowed Chair in Prevention Research and his wife, Christa Turksma, a child-clinical psychologist and teacher of mindfulness skills.
