Emotional CPR (eCPR)

• 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.
• eCPR is based on the principles found to be shared by a number of support approaches: trauma-informed care, counseling after disasters, peer support to avoid continuing emotional despair, emotional intelligence, suicide prevention, and cultural attunement. It was developed with input from a diverse cadre of recognized leaders from across the U.S., who themselves have learned how to recover and grow from emotional crises. They have wisdom by the grace of first-hand experience.

Euthanasia methods and how to support caregivers

• Presenters: Dr. Sharon Gwaltney-Brant, Ph.D., DABVT, DABT & Anneke Keizer, LATg, CCFP
• In this two-part webinar learn about various non-inhalant euthanasia methods and the importance of supporting caregivers who perform euthanasia and other difficult tasks. Part one: Non-inhalant euthanasia methods use chemical agents introduced to the body by means other than through the respiratory tract. Learn about various routes of administration and how to determine which chemical agent and route is appropriate. Discover how periodic shortages of injectable agents may require the use of alternative dosing and euthanasia compounds. Part two: Compassion fatigue can occur when we become so focused on the health and wellbeing of our animal patients that our own wellbeing falls to the wayside. Team members who perform euthanasia and other difficult tasks on a regular basis are especially prone to compassion fatigue. Learn about the importance of developing a customized program that supports team members’ wellbeing while addressing the unique needs of your facility.
