The Meaning Behind “Karuna”

Karuna is a Sanskrit word from the Buddhist religion defined as compassion or mercy, which is a feeling of concern for self or others which makes a person have a desire to help. Karuna Behavioral Health was founded as a program for individuals seeking to learn how to develop self compassion as well as learn to be the best version of themselves. When an individual lacks connection and care for both self and others this can be a direct correlation to depression, anxiety, loneliness and other pervasive mental health related issues. Karuna is a word that can have multiple meanings, however the focus of our program is on developing self love as well as learning how to connect with others through empathy and understanding. A lack of self compassion can have a direct negative impact on your mental health. Our program will take you through the steps necessary to heal and empower your connection with yourself and others.

Coming this fall to the Tampa Bay area, Karuna Behavioral Health is an Intensive Outpatient/Outpatient Mental Health program that will allow for self discovery and self growth for motivated individuals seeking to improve their mental health. Karuna Behavioral Health is a comprehensive program that consists of both group and individual therapy with licensed professionals. Further announcements to come!
