Established as a charity in 2006, The Compassionate Mind Foundation (CMF) is the home of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Compassionate Mind Training (CMT), and the leading provider of trainings and research.
We offer a range of therapy training workshops and events for personal practice, as well as an annual conference bringing together some of the best experts and cutting edge research in the field of compassion science. We have a number of international affiliate centres, and co-ordinate international supervision networks as well as a range of special interest groups which apply CFT and CMT to a range of specialist areas and contexts.

At the Compassionate Mind Foundation we are committed to building a community that is genuinely inclusive, welcoming and respects and celebrates diversity.
We are incredibly proud of, and inspired by, our growing international community, and the transcultural perspectives they are offering, widening our understanding of the cultural relevancies of compassion. We're aiming to make more compassion focused materials freely available, which will include a wider collection of resources and events in a variety of different languages.
As part of this aim, we've set up the Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity Fund (EDIF). This offers scholarships to workshops and conferences for those who would not otherwise be able to attend. We also offer funding for compassion focused research.
