In this conversation, Dr Joe Tucci, National Centre Board Chair and CEO of the Australian Childhood Foundation, and Dr Paul Gilbert, President of the Compassionate Mind Foundation UK, explore what compassion is and the role it plays in responding to and supporting people who have experienced child sexual abuse-related trauma to recover and heal.

We unpack the meaning of and science behind compassion and explore what a compassionate community looks like. There are discussions about how compassion is used in therapeutic responses and practical suggestions that everyone can apply to create a more compassionate community.

The National Centre for Action on Child Sexual Abuse (National Centre) respectfully acknowledges and celebrates the many Traditional Owners of the lands throughout Australia and pay our respects to ancestors of this country and Elders past and present. We recognise that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, culture and lore have existed within Australia continuously for over 65,000 years.

We acknowledge the ongoing leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Australia and those who have and continue to work tirelessly to address inequalities and improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander justice outcomes for children and young people. The National Centre is committed to ensuring that the voices of those whose lives are affected by the decisions governments make should fundamentally inform those decisions. First Nations voices must be heard, raised and amplified through a Voice to Parliament. It is time for genuine and significant reform to progress healing through the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

We seek to honour the lived and living expertise of all victims and survivors of child sexual abuse, harnessing all ages, cultures, abilities and backgrounds, and commit to substantially addressing the harm of child sexual abuse, now and well into the future. We recognise that there are children and young people today who are experiencing sexual abuse and dedicate ourselves to doing all we can to promote their effective protection and care.
