Compassion Prison Project

Compassion Prison Project (CPP) uses trauma-awareness education and programming to create trauma-informed prisons and communities. Our 16-week compassion-based curriculum, Trauma Talks, helps participants understand how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and trauma shape behavior, as well as develop practical tools for emotional regulation, self-agency, accountability, self-reflection, and compassion. Participants note increasing self-awareness and emotional understanding, a stronger sense of self-agency, and greater personal responsibility. Trauma Talks is available in English and Spanish. For those with access to Edovo, our Compassion in Action podcast features the top trauma experts in the world, thought leaders and motivational speakers who share lived experience, insight, and practical guidance.
