Free Upcoming Webinar: The Value of Support through Emotional CPR (eCPR) in Medication Reduction
June 30, 2026 4:00 – 5:30pm ET
Presenters: Daniel Fisher, MD, PhD, Carman Allen, BS, Oryx Cohen, MPA, Kimberly Ewing, MS

Webinar Description: Many people experiencing strong emotions have found that psychiatric medication(s) can be helpful, yet at times, in consultation with their psychiatrist, they may want to reduce their medication(s). In a recent SAMHSA webinar, Laura Delano of Inner Compass stated that when reducing medications, even if very gradually, people may experience an increase in strong emotions. She said, “To successfully reduce medication we need to learn to live with strong emotions and understand them.” People have found Emotional CPR (eCPR) helpful as a means of understanding and living with emotions through connection and support during life struggles. In this webinar, presenters will share their experiences with how using principles of eCPR helped them in their recovery. This webinar is not intended as medical advice for specific medications or individuals.
