Empathy vs. Sympathy

Confidence & Self-Esteem

Most of us will have come across the terms empathy and sympathy before, but do we really understand what they mean? And do we know what the difference is between empathy and sympathy? 

Red Umbrella’s dedicated webinar includes: 

  • Breaking down what is meant by the terms empathy and sympathy 
  • How both can be helpful depending on the circumstance 
  • How we can develop our empathic skills to be able to better support people around us 

WEBINAR
Introduction

Empathy and sympathy both impact mental health, but empathy is more effective. It creates deeper emotional connections, reduces isolation, and promotes healing. While sympathy offers comfort, it can create distance. Empathy strengthens resilience and improves well-being through meaningful support.

Leave With

By attending this webinar, you'll gain a deeper understanding of empathy, sympathy and the link between them and mental health. You’ll leave equipped with practical insights on recognising how these influence us, as well as strategies to develop our empathic skills to be able to support people around us.

Senior manager

The health and wellbeing of my staff are crucial to our business. When a key team member showed signs of mental illness, I realised I needed support to help them effectively. After contacting Red Umbrella, they quickly connected my employee with a therapist, leading to a successful recovery.
