SEA HATTC ECHO

Behavioral Health (BH) ECHO

Led by a panel of behavioral health experts, the BH ECHO helps participants to connect with peers to learn best practices for identifying and treating common behavioral health issues. The curriculum is delivered at no-cost and offers case-based learning strategies via video conferencing technology.

  • Frequency: 90-minute sessions every 2nd Friday of the month from 12-1:30 p.m.
  • Learn more about our program and the Behavioral Health ECHO Team.

Participant Learning Objectives

  • Gain knowledge and understanding of Behavioral Health issues through didactic presentations.
  • Participate in peer discussion and expert consultation on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health and substance use disorders.
  • Provide feedback on current best practices for integrating behavioral health care and primary care as applicable.
  • Access tools and resources for application of knowledge gained in sessions to participant’s organization.

Case Presentations

  • Case presentations are truly the core of every ECHO session. Presenters receive free consultation from a panel of subject matter experts and fellow participants on the questions they identify related to the care of a client. Case presentations can focus on common clinical scenarios or go deeper into more difficult, complex, or challenging symptom presentation and care management needs.
  • The ECHO session facilitator will moderate the case presentation and discussion portion of every session to ensure all participants have a chance to engage in the peer-to-peer learning.
  • To learn more, or to submit a case to present at a future session, contact Tiffany Conroy at .
