Brene Brown on Empathy:
At Tu Nidito, we talk about meeting the families “where they’re at” and trusting the process of our groups. We don’t push families to meet our expectations – we respect where they are and know that we are here to create a space that will allow them to move forward at their own pace. How does empathy enable you to meet the families of Tu Nidito where they are in their experiences and allow you to trust the process of a support group?
