Back to school can bring excitement, nerves, and big feelings. And those feelings aren’t limited to students. Parents, siblings, caregivers, educators, and others may feel the stress and change that comes with a new school year.

When things feel overwhelming, take a moment to pause, breathe, and notice what you’re feeling.

Self-regulation isn’t about making feelings disappear. It’s about recognizing what we feel, understanding what we need, and choosing a helpful response.

A little patience and compassion can make a big difference for ourselves and those around us.

CompassionateUSA wishes all students, families, educators, and supporters a meaningful start to the new school year.

With compassion, we can support one another, strengthen our communities, and build a better tomorrow. 💙

What makes a neighborhood more than just a place to live?

Kaplan—a leading expert on fragile states, societies, and communities, Professorial Lecturer at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), and author of Fragile Neighborhoods: Repairing American Society, One Zip Code at a Time.

Dr. Kaplan will explore how we can repair our social fabric by strengthening the local institutions that bring people together. From parks and libraries to cafés and other community spaces, these neighborhood anchors foster belonging, build trust, and help combat the growing sense of "placelessness" in American society.

The 2026 CompassionateAlamo Cohort reminds us of what’s possible when compassion leads the way!

From Roots to Bloom The PeaceCENTER San Antonio's Century-Long Growth Reaches the Alamo Colleges District

On March 25th, over 30 community members, educators, and local leaders came together to celebrate the growth of the Peace Center. Gathered at the Alamo Colleges District’s Common Ground Gallery, the evening was filled with stories, laughter, and shared visions for the future.

Like the century plant, the Peace Center has grown quietly and steadily, rooted deeply in community. Its foundation, built by passionate individuals over time, now allows it to flourish across the Alamo Colleges District. This next chapter is not just expansion; it is a continuation of a vision decades in the making.

The Peace Center’s bloom is a reminder that strong roots give rise to meaningful growth. Here’s to steady, intentional, and life-filled progress today and for the years to come.

In partnership with CompassionateUSA, the Alamo Colleges District celebrated its 5th Annual National Day of Collective Healing on January 29, 2026.

This inspiring gathering has become a sanctuary for compassion, bringing together voices that awaken reflection, and shared humanity. Past speakers include Mee Moua (2022), Dr. Cornel West (2023), Nikki Giovanni (2024), and Leslie Odom Jr. (2025).

This year, 23rd U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo and 24th U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón brought the evening to life, weaving stories of resilience, hope, and compassion that reminded over 500 attendees that true compassion begins with listening and presence.

The night was further illuminated by Palo Alto College Ballet Folklórico, Destiny Hernández, and Lachuné Boyd, whose movement, storytelling, and artistry created a collective celebration of shared humanity.

We can’t wait for the 6th Annual National Day of Collective Healing in 2027, where we’ll continue to gather in gratitude, deepen compassion, and build a more connected community, . ❤️
