Emotional CPR: Connecting Hearts and Minds for Better Mental Health
Ecpr gives birth to that bigger perspective, that human perspective.
Imagine a world where emotional support is as immediate and effective as physical CPR. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', Lauren Spiro and Amanda Walton take us on a journey through Emotional CPR (e-CPR) training. This isn't your typical mental health approach; it's about connecting on a human level without labels or judgments.
Lauren, who co-founded e-CPR, shares her incredible story of transformation from a shy young woman labeled with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder to a leading voice in mental health recovery. Alongside Amanda, the MPN Peer Services Coordinator, they discuss how e-CPR can create safe spaces for co-learning and deep connection. What makes e-CPR stand out is its emphasis on community practice. It’s not just about learning techniques but about integrating them into everyday life.
Whether it's peer support services, licensure training, or just daily interactions, the power of vulnerability and connection is at the forefront. Lauren and Amanda dive into how this approach can be a game-changer for those within and outside the behavioral health system. The conversation is filled with hope and practical insights, ending on an inspiring note about the potential to expand e-CPR globally.
If you're curious about new ways to support emotional well-being or looking for fresh approaches to mental health, this episode offers valuable perspectives and actionable advice.
