  It has never been more challenging to know what to say and do when those around us are hurting. We can feel empathy and compassion, but yet allow awkwardness, fear, doubt, and burnout to take over and paralyze us from connecting with each other. How do we “show up” for coworkers, friends, classmates, family, acquaintances, and even strangers when they are struggling and feel like no one cares? This book points the way.

  Inspiring Comfort LLC is a social good company working to reverse the upward trend of those suffering from stress, depression, anxiety, loneliness, trauma, crisis, grief, illness and isolation. We accomplish this through our evidence based comfort skill programming. We train and equip ordinary people how to bring a personal caring connection to those who are struggling. We believe - and science backs up - that by intentionally helping others when it’s awkward and difficult, we not only help them, but we help ourselves.Professional Development Leaders, Teachers, Counselors, and Mental Health Advocates can use our programs to teach their students or employees how to put their phones down, collaborate with each other and ultimately compassionately connect with those who desperately need to know someone cares. When we teach comfort, we awaken empathy. Session participants are empowered to make a real difference in the lives of others…and their own. The benefits of true comfort and connection are broad - improved physical and mental health, improved outcomes at school and work, a healthier society.Want to learn more, please go to www.inspiringcomfort.com or contact me.



Paws to Comfort

  Comfort is a teachable skill and a human care behavior. The beauty of this skill is that it actually requires a compassionate connection. Through this powerful book, readers will learn to intentionally act to not only help one another, but to build emotional resiliency through social connectedness. I am joined by TIME Magazine's Skye Quinn, who brilliantly designed Paws to Comfort with simplicity and emotion. This beautiful, well researched “how-to” book will empower you with tools and strategies to comfort and inspire those around you who desperately need to know someone cares. You will leave with a full personal assessment and action plan to act on your strengths. If a dog were to write a book about how to comfort others, this would be it. They opened my eyes to beautiful simple truths about how we can care for each other.
