#2: Compassion in Action
A 45-minute DVD.
Beautiful production, original musical score and real-life scenes.
When times get Tough:
“Compassion comes naturally when people are suffering. But what about when those people are upset or difficult to be with? Is it possible or practical to extend compassion when the going gets tough?
Compassion in Action shows the art of communicating with patients when difficult emotions arise. Using real-life 
footage from authentic situations, the video gives a fresh look at an age old problem: How to keep caring when patients are difficult. Viewers learn new approaches and gain confidence, encouragement and motivation for being effective in difficult interactions”
