About the Global Compassion Coalition
We are a growing movement of researchers, teachers, activists, and everyday people who recognize that compassion improves mental health, strengthens relationships, and eases hopelessness and despair.
Our mission is to establish compassion and justice at the foundation of all societies.
Grounded in science, contemplative wisdom, and activist passion, we build communities, share tools, and support initiatives that address systemic sources of suffering. Everything we offer is freely accessible, because this work belongs to everyone.
Compassion in Action
SOME CURRENT GCC EFFORTS:
Connectors in Nigeria
In Nigeria, Uwalaka Uchechukwu and the GCC Compassion Connectors Nigeria team worked with the Umuahia Custodial Centre to emphasize respect and kindness - with books, jerseys, and mental health training - for inmates facing overcrowding and isolation. Their visit made national news. This is what the growing global Connectors network looks like in action: deliberate acts of caring aimed at upstream sources of suffering.
Resilient Parent Initiative
Every year, millions of babies are born to parents who are highly stressed or overwhelmed. Children rely on their parents for safety and stability, but it is hard to meet those needs when parents' own needs go overlooked. The Resilient Parent Initiative brings together the expertise of organizations in child development to offer accessible tools that help parents build the inner strengths leading to the best possible outcomes for their precious children.
Compassion Corps
Compassion Corps provides grants to certified teachers of evidence-based compassion and mindfulness programs, enabling them to offer free training to frontline caregivers and underserved communities worldwide.
Young Guys Thrive
A one-day online conference with 17+ experts that equipped parents, educators, and mentors with practical tools to help young men master relationship skills and navigate life with a clear sense of purpose.
