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.

Breaking Barriers:

Recognizing National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month with Consumer Advocate Network 

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, a time dedicated to amplifying the mental health needs of underrepresented communities and shedding light on the unique challenges faced by racial and ethnic minorities. At Consumer Advocate Network, we stand united in our mission to support, empower, and advocate for individuals navigating mental health concerns—especially in communities where stigma and lack of access to care continue to create barriers to wellness. 

Why Minority Mental Health Awareness Matters  

Mental health is essential to overall well-being, but for many people of color, seeking help can be met with cultural stigma, systemic inequalities, language barriers, or a lack of culturally competent care. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health, Black and African American adults are more likely to experience persistent emotional distress than white adults—but are significantly less likely to receive treatment. Similar disparities affect Hispanic/Latino, Asian American, Native American, and Pacific Islander communities. 

The late Bebe Moore Campbell, a renowned author and advocate, was a driving force behind the establishment of this observance. Her legacy continues to inspire nationwide efforts to ensure equitable mental health services and to normalize conversations around emotional well-being in minority communities. 

How Consumer Advocate Network Can Help 

At Consumer Advocate Network, we recognize that mental health is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Our trained and compassionate staff are here to: 

Listen without judgment 

 

Help navigate care options that are culturally responsive and accessible 

 

Break down stigma by promoting mental health as a priority—not a taboo 

 

Advocate for your rights as a consumer of behavioral health services 

 

Connect you with community resources that reflect your values, identity, and needs 

Whether you're just beginning to explore your mental health journey or are searching for support in the face of systemic barriers, our team is committed to

YOU Deserve to Be Heard. YOU Deserve to Heal. 

Breaking the silence around mental health in minority communities begins with awareness—but it continues with action. This July let’s move beyond recognition and into advocacy, support, and healing.  Consumer Advocate Network is here to help you navigate this path with respect, dignity, and compassion. 

 

Together, we can create a future where mental health care is equitable, accessible, and stigma-free for all.
