A workshop introducing Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) to 50 Indonesian university students used hybrid training on September 7, 2024. Participants learned to recognize self-judgment and over-identification, and practiced techniques including the self-compassion break, the "STOP" method, positive affirmations, and expressive writing. Evaluation showed increased awareness of inner states and motivation to treat oneself with greater kindness and humanity. The brief MSC training format appears to be a viable promotive intervention for improving student mental health.
