When a case involves both IDD and a mental health condition, the answer usually isn't in one discipline. It's somewhere between a psychiatrist, a behavior specialist, a nurse and the person who knows the individual best.
Project ECHO® puts all of them in one room, monthly, around one real case. The agency presenting gets a plan. Everyone else gets the reasoning which is the part that transfers to the next case.
WHAT TO EXPECT
-
A short teaching piece from specialist faculty
-
One de-identified case, presented by a member agency
-
Structured recommendations from faculty and peers
-
Bring your team, no limit on who attends from your agency
One case is taught. Everyone in the room learns from it.
Bringing a case
01
Tell us what's happening
A short intake form. No formal write-up, no diagnosis required, just the situation and what you've tried.
02
We prepare with you
Our team helps you de-identify and structure it so the hour is spent on the problem, not the paperwork
03
Leave with a plan
Written recommendations you can take back to your team and your documentation.
