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.

Insight Prison Project (IPP) offers transformational restorative justice based programs for incarcerated people designed to facilitate insight, accountability, integrity, responsibility, compassion, empathy and healing. IPP's Victim Offender Education Group (VOEG), a nationally recognised program, is a 52+ week in-person restorative justice curriculum that is currently offered in 6 prisons in California and 6 in Colorado. IPP does NOT offer correspondence courses.
