Cincinnati Children’s project Echo programs
Mental and behavioral health concerns are common in children and adolescents presenting to therapists in community agencies and schools; however, identification and treatment can be complex and time with families is limited. Our Therapist ECHO series provides an efficient and collaborative way to learn and practice evidence-based interventions. The learning is supported by psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists. The goal of ECHO is to improve providers’ comfort and skills with effective and efficient identification and management of common mental health presenting concerns, while also providing a network of resources to ensure patients receive the right care in the right place at the right time.
