This ECHO program, in partnership with the Health Resources and Services Administration's behavioral health program, gives the overworked and overburdened healthcare workforce resources and connects them with a community facing the same challenges.
Using the ECHO Model, our program participants gain essential skills for dealing with stress and anxiety, identify system-level drivers that lead to occupational distress, and examine the culture of well-being in our workspaces. Our goal is to help participants develop a sense of personal resilience while addressing systemic changes to decrease burnout and mental health risks. As a result, a more resilient workforce and workplace can sustainably provide essential services to patients in their local communities.
Open to ALL who assist with patient, client, or staff well-being and health care. There is no cost to participate.
A 20 - 35 minute didactic followed by breakouts into small groups based on career stage. The small group space is a safe space for participants to share experiences and best practices.
A 40 minute didactic followed by 20 minutes of question, answer, and discussion from network participants.
Network participants and supervisors engage in both real and simulated cases, invoking deep thought. Simulated cases allow participants to practice situational, workplace, and institutional resilience.
