"The biggest impact of the ACT Training is how aware I am of the opportunities to be compassionate- at home, at work, at the coffee shop, etc. I now start my day with a practice that includes setting my intentions around being an Ambassador of Compassion and actively choosing an action that reflects who I truly am!"

"My ACT Capstone Project allowed me to tap deeply into
my own history and heart to understand the ways I’m uniquely situated to benefit my community. It required me to move beyond ideas about compassion to embodied, relational practice
