About Institute for Compassionate Care

OUR MISSION

The Institute for Compassionate Care exists to equip frontline responders, chaplains, pastors, clinicians and community volunteers to deepen their knowledge and skills in the area of crisis response. Our intention is to provide excellent training and practical resources to assist them in providing effective emotional and spiritual care to hurting people. 

About ICC

The Institute for Compassionate Care (ICC) was founded by Dr. Kevin Ellers to train people to provide effective and compassionate emotional and spiritual care following critical incidents. Critical incidents are life altering events that have potential to create a state of crisis.  These events may include disasters; loss and death; mass casualty; crime; violence; assault and many other things. While critical incidents can cause distress and disruption, they can also be a catalyst for growth and transformation. In addition to training, another major focus of ICC is helping people build resilience and coping skills to not only recover from life’s stressors, but to grow from these experiences. This is achieved through care, consulting and coaching leaders, organizations, and survivors in the aftermath.
