Emotional CPR (eCPR) is an educational program designed to teach people to assist
others through an emotional crisis by three simple steps: Connecting, Empowering
and Revitalizing

eCPR is based on the principles found to be shared by a number of support
approaches: trauma-informed care, counseling after disasters, peer support, emotional
intelligence, suicide prevention, and cultural attunement. It was developed with input
from individuals across the U.S., who have learned how to recover and grow from
emotional crises. They have wisdom by the grace of first-hand experience.

The Connecting process of eCPR involves deepening listening skills, practicing
presence, and creating a sense of safety for the person experiencing a crisis. The
emPowering process helps people better understand how to empower themselves as
well as to assist others to feel hopeful and engaged in life. In the Revitalizing process,
people re-engage in relationships with their loved ones and their support system. They
resume or begin routines that support health and wellness which reinforces the
person’s sense of accomplishment, further energizing the healing process.
