About

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

C = Connecting
P = emPowering and
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 Revitalizating 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.

Meet your AMAZING trainers:

Amanda Haberman

Amanda Haberman lives near Warwick in rural Queensland, Australia on the land and waterways that are traditionally owned by the Githabul First Nations people. It is a real honor for her to live and work on the beautiful land in the valley of the Great Dividing Range, on the border of QLD and NSW. She pays respect to elders past and present and recognizes that sovereignty was never ceded.  The impacts of this trauma on our First Nations brothers and sisters are intergenerationally palpable today and she is deeply saddened by this.

As a lived experience (peer) educator, consultant and supervisor, her work has been focused on emancipation of those whose voices have been silenced, especially those who have experienced trauma and ended up in systems. Her latest focus has been the new and emerging development of the Lived Experience (Peer) Workforce in Australia. As a voice hearer, who has been involved with the International Hearing Voices Network, and ISPS Australia, she also advocates for more human responses to distress. Emotional CPR is a much-needed response, that works. She is thrilled as an eCPR trainer to be able to share the learning.
