ECHO Session One: Veterans and Harm Reduction - April 29, 2024
ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) Model has evolved into a learning framework that applies across disciplines for sustainable and profound change; Project ECHO calls it the “all teach, all learn.” Participants engage in a virtual community with their peers, sharing support, guidance, and feedback. As a result, our collective understanding of disseminating and implementing best practices across diverse disciplines continuously improves and expands. (ECHO) Sessions will focus on evidence-based and emerging strategies and practices, including stigma, obtaining community buy-in, shifting preconceived notions of those who use and strategies to address the issue of substance use disorder, and overdose prevention.
The session consists of a 1-hour total, which includes a 20-minute didactic presentation, then a 5-minute Q&A by a guest presenter, followed by case(s) presentations and peer-to-peer mentoring discussing strategies to address case issues.
