More Information
Emotional CPR (eCPR) is an educational program of the National Empowerment Center (NEC) and is designed to teach people to assist others through an emotional crisis by three simple steps: C=Connecting, P=emPowering, and R=Revitalizing.
eCPR is based on the principles found in a number of support approaches: trauma-informed care, counseling after disasters, peer support to avoid continuing emotional despair, emotional intelligence, suicide prevention, and cultural attunement. Emotional CPR training was developed with the input of national leaders in peer support and mental health recovery who learned through personal experience how to recover and grow from emotional crisis.
This powerful training is key to supporting a person experiencing trauma, and practicing eCPR can be the first step towards moving those individuals to recovery.
