Compassionate Systems Leadership
About

The BC Compassionate Systems Leadership(CSL) Network was created to grow CSL capacity in child and youth-serving systems throughout the province.

A network of trainers have focused on building a consistent approach to CSL training and facilitation through BC-specific content development and standardization. Initial funding for the Network was received from the BC Ministry of Education and Child Care in 2021 to specifically support BC’s school districts and independent schools to build capacity. Training sessions and coaching are offered by a team of trained facilitators.

A Connected Network

Through regular communications and Communities of Practice, a connected network of individuals practicing CSL throughout the province has been developed. The map below shows BC School District’s level of engagement with CSL across the province.

*Level of Engagement: BC School Districts have engaged in varying degrees with the BC Compassionate Systems Leadership Network. The level varies based on how many district-based sessions have been held, how many individuals in each district participate in provincial or regional Communities of Practice, and whether the district is home to any Compassionate Systems Master Practitioners trained at the Center for Systems Awareness.

The CSL Team

The BC Compassionate Systems Leadership Network has brought together a team of skilled individuals to lead the work.  Between them they have decades of experience in education, child development, community collaboration, coaching, and group facilitation.  Team members are matched with participants based on community interest, availability, and geography.  Additional trained facilitators may be used to support the work as needed.
