Daniel Fisher will also be offering an introductory workshop to Emotional CPR (eCPR) – his method of teaching people to assist others through an emotional crisis by three simple steps:

C = Connecting
P = emPowering, and
R = Revitalizing.

People say:

“In my 26 years of recovery I have not experienced anything as profound and empowering as the eCPR training. Thank you for helping me learn new tools and allowing myself to grow and express who I am. The whole training inspired me to be a better person and to not be embarrassed by who I am.”

“It was one of the most profound experiences I have ever had. This is the kind of work I want to be doing to build community. It is a transformative process.”

Co-founder of the National Empowerment Center, Daniel Fisher, writes on alternatives to the medical/institutional model of distress and healing. In particular, he tells of the Empowerment Paradigm of Development and Recovery. His latest book is Heartbeats of Hope
