Caritas Consortium 2013Integration of Caring Behaviors on an Educational Team
Intent to Contribute Statement:
Purpose: The purpose of this project is:
1. To facilitate an experiential encounter with the 10 Caritas Processes™ through the use of non-judgmental creative work and mindfulness practices.
2. To support development of caring and connection to increase stress hardiness.
3. To increase educator’s comfort levels with the abstract, more transformational qualities of Caring Science in a safe environment.
4. To evaluate the effectiveness of this type of education for creating caring and connection through the use of the Peer Group Caring Interaction Scale described below.
Project Description: This project consists of offering four classes to a group of Clinical Educators. The one hour
sessions will incorporate mindfulness practices; and each session will explore a different aspect of the 10 Caritas
Processes™ using creative process, which may include, but not be limited to, collage, poetry, music and other art
media. The creative processes will focus on building caring and connection among group members. The use of
transformation as an educational tool will be introduced to support educators in being more comfortable with
incorporating the abstract qualities of Caring Science in their own educational practice (Herbst, et al, 2010).

Con’t:
Project Outcome: The desired outcome is for class members to express a shift in their sense of caring and
connection with one another, as evidenced by their scores on the Peer Group Caring Interaction Scale described
below. But even more important would be the creation of a safe environment in which Clinical Educators can
explore their personal struggles with Caring Science principles as a prelude to authentic incorporation of these
principles in future educational efforts.
