ECHO Behavioral Health in Primary Care
1st and 3rd Wednesdays, Noon – 1:00 p.m. MST
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranks Idaho as the fifth highest in the nation for suicides, and according to SAMHSA, major depressive episodes among adolescents are higher than the national average.
Led by an interdisciplinary panel of mental health experts specializing in family medicine, social work, psychiatry, psychology and pharmacy, ECHO Idaho helps participants in this series learn best practices for treating common mental health conditions and connect with peers from around the state to discuss what really works in complex whole-patient care. Hour-long, virtual sessions are convenient, engaging, and immediately applicable to your practice.
Target Audience
The target audience is primary care providers (MD, DO, PA, NP, RN, etc.), but all clinicians and behavioral health specialists are welcome.
