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.

What is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month?

Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month occurs every June to shine a light on mental health challenges men face and to break the silence and stigma that often prevent men from seeking help. This national event encourages men to prioritize their mental and emotional well-being as well as their physical health. Throughout the month, organizations, advocates, and communities work together to promote open conversations, provide education, and offer support to men’s needs.

Why is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Important?

Men are significantly less likely than women to seek help for mental health issues due to societal expectations that discourage vulnerability and promote the idea that men should “tough it out.” 

This stigma can have devastating consequences: men are nearly four times more likely to die by suicide than women, and millions of men struggle with depression, anxiety, substance use, and other mental health conditions without getting the support they need.

Raising awareness helps:

  • Challenge stereotypes and stigma around men’s mental health

  • Encourage men to recognize symptoms and seek help early

  • Promote healthy coping strategies instead of risky behaviors or substance use

  • Support men in building stronger connections in their community

  • Save lives by normalizing conversations about mental health and suicide prevention

How You Make a Difference

Everyone can support men’s mental health. Here are some meaningful ways you can help:

  • Be a Safe Space: Let the men in your life know you’re available to listen without judgment. Sometimes, just being present and attentive can make all the difference.

  • Challenge Stereotypes: Speak out against harmful ideas that discourage men from expressing emotions or seeking help. Encourage open conversations about mental health.

  • Check In Regularly: A simple message or call can remind someone that they’re not alone and that support is available.

Resources for Support (still working on it) 

If you or someone you know is struggling, there are many resources specifically for men:

  • NAMI HelpLine: Call 1-800-950-NAMI (6264), text “HelpLine” to 62640, or visit the NAMI website for information, support groups, and referrals

  • Face It Foundation: Provides peer support and resources for men facing depression

  • Movember Foundation: Focuses on men’s mental health, suicide prevention, and overall wellness

  • Crisis Support: If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (available 24/7)

You are not alone. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, and help is available
