Compassionate Communication

Compassion 'n Action provides practical tools, suggestions, and 1- and 2-day trainings in compassionate communication. Compassionate Communication is based on Nonviolent Communication, or NVC, as developed by professional psychologist Marshall Rosenberg, and promoted by the Center for Nonviolent Communication (cnvc.org).

The book Nonviolent Communication - A Language of Life provides an excellent overview of NVC, which Marshall also calls a Language of Life.
