Project ECHO: Behavioral Health in Primary Care Series

Behavioral Health in Primary Care ECHO is a free virtual learning network. The series supports primary care providers in the assessment and management of behavioral health concerns for their patients. Sessions feature case-based discussions following brief didactics on commonly seen conditions in pediatric primary care.

Series Options

We offer two series options for participants:

• Foundations: This series provides foundational knowledge about the topic. The interactive, case-based 8-session series occurs on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday each month.
• Continuity: An ongoing monthly series which builds on topics discussed during the Foundations series. Participants must have attended the Foundations series to be eligible for continuity sessions. To register for an upcoming Continuity session, please email us at BHPrimaryCareECHO@NationwideChildrens.org.
