What is Emotional CPR?

Emotional CPR (eCPR) is a community education program that teaches people how to support another person experiencing an emotional crisis.  It is a hope-based public health approach to build strong, resilient, cooperative communities.

 

  • 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.
