****TRAINING OPEN TO FLORIDA HEALTHCARE WORKERS ONLY (INCLUDING PEER SPECIALISTS), SPONSORED THROUGH A GRANT FROM SAMHSA.****

*This training is part of our Certified Well-being Ambassador (CWBA) program*

Please note: This is a hybrid eCPR course which does not meet the requirements necessary to go on to become an eCPR facilitator/trainer; it is intended as a practical orientation to Emotional CPR skills for those working in the mental or physical healthcare field.

Emotional CPR (eCPR), is a hope-based public health approach to build strong, resilient, cooperative communities. It is designed to teach people to assist others through an emotional crisis through three simple steps: C= Connecting, P= emPowering, and R= Revitalization. This training will help prepare you to provide support to others- patients, coworkers, family, or people you haven't met- who may be experiencing an emotional crisis. eCPR skills can be practiced both by people trained in counseling, assessment, or other mental health skills, also by those with no mental health training. It is also valuable in deepening day-to-day communication.  

This course is hybrid, meaning it will consist of two parts: a 2-hour self-paced, online learning course, and a 7-hour live, virtual training session.

This hybrid course includes the following components: 

1. Pre-Work: Participants must complete approximately 2 hours of self-paced online modules.  **NOTE: Pre-Work needs to be completed four (4) working days prior to training date.**

2. Live Virtual Training: Attendance is required for the full  7-hour live, virtual training session. 

3. Post-Work and Feedback: Completion of all post-training assignments and submission of an anonymous Course Feedback Survey are required to receive the certificate. 

PLEASE NOTE: This training requires full virtual participation (with video).  There will be small group breakout sessions for practice.  Each participant MUST join on their own device (preferably a computer) from a place that provides private and confidential participation.  We require active engagement - including participation in discussions, practice activities, and small group breakout sessions.   This is required to receive a Certificate of Completion.  

*8 CEU hours are available to Peer Specialists and Community Health Workers. At this time we are not certified to provide CEUs to any other professions, but you may be eligible to receive CEUs by request after submitting your certificate to your unique licensing board.
