  • Enhance awareness of an ability to access resources available for managing all aspects of mental health disorders
  • Identify strategies to effectively incorporate mental health into routine visits/care within the community
  • Implement strategies for recognizing and managing stigma
  • Navigate factors that contribute to mental health disparities
  • Improve the physical well-being of patients

The Adult Psych ECHO will empower and support health care providers in effectively and confidently applying best practices to the treatment of individuals experiencing mental health issues.

A team of experts in adult psychiatry, psychiatric pharmacology, psychology, community health and peer support will offer online collaborative learning sessions every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
