The Native American Youth Mental Health ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a collaboration between the California Area Indian Health Services, Southern Indian Health Council, Two Feathers Native American Family Services, Yurok Tribe Health and Human Services, Native American Health Center, Southern California American Indian Resource Center, Cal Poly Humboldt and the Stanford Psychiatry Center for Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing to improve the treatment of pediatric mental health challenges.

ECHO uses technology to facilitate mentoring and knowledge sharing, enabling clinicians to provide best practice care for complex and chronic diseases in their communities. Clinicians, behavioral health providers, and community health workers are invited to participate in the Native American Youth Mental Health ECHO, led by experts from the Stanford Psychiatry Center for Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing, Southern Indian Health Council, Two Feathers Native American Family Services, Yurok Tribe Health and Human Services, Native American Health Center, Southern California American Indian Resource Center, and Cal Poly Humboldt.

Note - Our target audience includes healthcare professionals and school mental health workers based in the United States, who are responsible for the care and treatment of Native American Youth. International learners are encouraged to seek out ECHO opportunities in their native countries. More information on global ECHO programs can be found here: https://hsc.unm.edu/echo/
