  • Emotional CPR consists of three phases of support:

    - Connecting

    - emPowering

    - Revitalizing

  • Everyone! Much like CPR, it can be taught and utilized through organizations, with individuals, and integrated into communities. Emotional CPR was created utilizing the foundations of trauma-informed approaches, suicide prevention, cultural empathy and intersectionality, components of recovery, and utilizes the lived experience of people who have navigated crisis and identified what is helpful and what is not.

What People Are Saying About their ecpr training…

 

“As the owner of a small family business, I can say that this training has given me a new perspective on Employer/ Employee relations. I have learned a new approach that will help me garner the cooperation I have been struggling to create in my business. I believe this approach will increase overall productivity while empowering my staff to live more fulfilling lives. What I love even more is that I have already begun to practice it in my personal life and see an immediate improvement in my relationship with my spouse. I am excited to discover a process to help me deal with complicated feelings inside myself and reflected back at me in this constantly changing world.”

“This training gave me the value of sensitivity of another’s emotions and life struggles. How it feels from someone else’s perspective, especially reaching out for help and support.”

“Learning about Emotional CPR changed my life in that I have been able to improve my relationships with friends, families and clients. Learning to listen with a whole heart and that it is not my job to fix everything has brought me peace and allowed me to share that peace with others.”

“I have used emotional cpr to listen to people experiencing domestic abuse, struggling with transgender, and experiencing emotional crisises. Truly listening, understanding, and showing support helped them in their time when they desperately needed to be heard. Emotional cpr is an experience everyone should have.”

“The information and skills will forever be a part of my toolkit. They'll accompany me when I need them most during any emotional crisis in my personal or professional worlds.”

“Emotional CPR has provided me with tools that help support others in my family and community in a way that helps them feel heard and supported. The skills promote dignity, resiliency, and hold safe space so people can work through the heaviness of emotional trauma to find their path out the other side, all while being witnessed with compassion and a caring heart. All without judgment, without reactivity, and without cruelty. Thank you for these life affirming gifts!”

“eCPR has helped me understand myself more than any other program I have taken. It has opened up more ways to help others know that there is hope at having people listen and not judge you... That it isn't always dark and that you can have tools other than medication in your tool box! I don't know if that makes sense, but it is what I feel… “
