eCPR Training

$250.00

Emotional CPR (eCPR) is an education program designed to teach people how to assist others experiencing an emotional crisis. It incorporates core principles of trauma-informed care, peer support, personal recovery approaches, and sociocultural attunement. eCPR is a profound process of reclaiming our connection (to self and others), embodying empowerment, and ultimately feeling revitalized. The certification training engages your heart and mind in an experiential and unfolding process that includes embracing mutual support. With over a decade of providing this training widely in the U.S., with rapid global expansion, the consistent feedback is that it helps us become better listeners and supporters, changes our perception of ourselves and the world around us, and teaches us how to tap into our well of compassion to enhance all our relationships.

Thriving in these times of uncertainty means we need to practice self-care and reclaim our ability to feel connected, empowered, and revitalized. Many of those who have undergone the eCPR training have been pleasantly surprised at how effective it is in our new virtual training space. The energy, the safety, the sense of closeness and connection are all there. We invite you to join us on this deepening journey.

Those of us with lived experience of severe emotional distress have been well-prepared for this global crisis because we have long known that our healing and resilience are enhanced by our connecting at a heart-to-heart level. eCPR certification training helps to alleviate the trauma of isolation and separation by laying a foundation for healing and wellness.

June is PTSD Awareness Month: Understanding, Supporting, and Advocating for Those Affected

Every June, communities across the globe observe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month—a dedicated time to raise understanding, reduce stigma, and promote resources for those affected by this complex mental health condition. At Consumer Advocate Network, we recognize the importance of highlighting PTSD awareness, as informed advocacy can empower survivors and improve access to vital care and support.

What is PTSD?

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. This might include situations like combat exposure, natural disasters, serious accidents, abuse, or other life-threatening incidents. PTSD symptoms can vary widely but often include:

  • Intrusive memories or flashbacks

  • Avoidance of reminders related to the trauma

  • Heightened anxiety and emotional distress

  • Changes in mood and thinking, including feelings of guilt or numbness

  • Sleep disturbances or nightmares

These symptoms can severely disrupt a person’s daily life, relationships, and overall well-being.

Why is PTSD Awareness Important?

Despite affecting millions worldwide, PTSD is often misunderstood. Many people mistakenly believe it only impacts military veterans, but PTSD can affect anyone who has experienced trauma. Raising awareness helps:

  • Educate the public: Clarifying myths and facts about PTSD reduces stigma and encourages empathy.

  • Encourage early intervention: Awareness promotes recognition of symptoms, leading to timely professional help.

  • Support survivors: Sharing stories and resources helps those affected feel less isolated.

  • Improve policy and resources: Advocacy drives improvements in mental health services and funding.

How Can You Help During PTSD Awareness Month?

  1. Learn and Share: Educate yourself on PTSD symptoms, causes, and treatments. Share credible information within your community and online.

  2. Support Survivors: Listen without judgment and encourage those struggling to seek professional help. Understanding and compassion make a meaningful difference.

  3. Promote Resources: Highlight local and national organizations offering mental health support, such as the National Center for PTSD, Veterans Affairs, and crisis hotlines.

  4. Advocate for Change: Join or support efforts pushing for better mental health policies, funding, and workplace accommodations.
