Communicating with Compassion is an inspiring teaching and learning resource that can teach how to communicate in ways that ease the pain and lift the spirit. In the 40-minute centerpiece video, Karen Fox, a cancer survivor and founder of the Adventures in Caring Foundation, explains the tools and techniques for communicating well in emotionally sensitive situations. Twelve years and the work of over 400 volunteers, physicians, nurses, chaplains and teachers have gone into developing the methods presented in Communicating with Compassion. By showing real interactions with people who are suffering, Karen Fox demonstrates the communication skills that caregivers need most – skills that empower, encourage, and bring hope. Interlaced with comments from a variety of experts, on-site scenes illustrate the four key elements for communicating with people who are ill, injured, isolated, or in distress.

Communicating with Compassion teaches how to:
• Approach sensitive situations with confidence.


• Communicate in ways that are deeply appreciated.


• Avoid the pitfalls of inappropriate communication.
