Primary frontline professionals can be the difference between life and death for patients and community members, yet they are continually at risk for physical injury, compassion fatigue and burnout. And the COVID-19 global pandemic and other epidemics in New Mexico continue to impact first responders and frontline health care workers in unprecedented ways. Our program offers support and resources to combat these hurdles.
Using the ECHO Model, our program teaches self-care techniques, resiliency and capacity building and best practices. We also foster a community of support from peers, physicians and behavioral health experts.
We meet the first and third Mondays of the month from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Mountain Time.

Participants are eligible to receive no-cost continuing education credits; details are provided in our weekly email announcement.
