Mental Health Recovery Board

Emotional CPR Training
2025-10-29 09:00 - 16:00 (America/Detroit)
Ohio Department of Behavioral Health & The P.E.E.R. Center are offering a free training: Emotional CPR (eCPR)

eCPR is an educational program developed by the recovery movement designed to teach people to assist others through an emotional crisis with three simple steps:

C = Connecting

P = emPowering

R = Revitalizing

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 feel empowered themselves as well as to assist others to feel more hopeful and engaged in life. In the Revitalizing process, people re-engage in relationships with their loved ones or their support system, and they resume or begin routines that support health and wellness which reinforces the person’s sense of mastery and accomplishment, further energizing the healing process.

We all have a role to play in preventing suicide. Start by exploring and sharing Ohio’s Suicide Prevention Toolkit, packed with tools, tips, and ways to get involved in your community. #Connected4LifeOhio is a reminder to stay connected, check on your loved ones, and show up for one another—because reaching out, checking in, and offering support can make a life-saving difference. https://mha.ohio.gov/know-our-programs-and-services/suicide-prevention-toolkit

This September, we’re teaming up with #OhioMHAS and #RecoveryOhio to celebrate National Recovery Month! Since 1989, this month has been dedicated to supporting new treatments, celebrating the recovery community, and recognizing those who make recovery possible. With the right treatment, support, and resources, recovery is REAL (Restoring Every Aspect of Life) for everyone. #NationalRecoveryMonth #RecoveryIsPossible.
