Cincinnati Childrens project Echo programs
Depression is common in children and adolescents; however, identification and treatment can be complex. Our Depression ECHO provides an efficient way to learn and practice, supported by psychiatry, a psychologist and primary care provider peers. The goal is to improve the primary care provider’s comfort when managing treatment of depression and provide a network of resources to ensure patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
